Let’s hope the ayurveda takes over the allopathy to the betterment of future generations.🙏

[shrikumariajith]

There is a notion in Kerala that, a long term use of ayurvedic medicine may leads to liver sclerosis. I came to know that the presence of heavy metals in present day ayurvedic medicines are very high and that is the reason for the liver sclerosis. Could you deliver a talk based on this?

[suvarna]

Can Sangam talks give a list of references each speaker has used? That will help those who want to find out more on the topic.

Where were these books when we were in Mughal India British India. All the Vaidyas were excellent. Pune was good for this. But India never gave importance to Ayurveda

[rajanipurandare]

I grew up in India I never took any allopathic drugs. But I remember people made fun about at least in Mumbai Kafka pitta Vaasa. And after my coming to America modern medicine never respected Ayurveda. Thank you.

The origin of Ayurveda is not known it’s since before the earth existed it’s first goal is to prevent diseases then curing them, it’s just as simple as being synchronous with the nature, there are different sampradayas in Ayurveda,
