2:47 AYUSH is no important stakeholder of health ❌. It is just boasted as important through anecdotal experiences and "ancient" sentiment.

It includes "Homeopathy", which is a big red flag. No homeopathy medicine works more than a placebo drug !
The important principle that the proponents of homeopathy say is "the more you dilute the medicine, the more is the potency of that medicine", seriously ?!
And they cover this up by saying "water molecules remember the drug, while diluting" . What rubbish ! How ignorant someone must be to believe this !

There is high chance that water molecules we drink from filters might have once evaporated through the body sweat of syphilis patients and recycled through rains . So according to homeopathy, as "water remembers", drinking filtered and distilled water should give us syphilis ? 🤦🏻‍♂️

And also the way ayurvedic drugs are being advertised after just conducting precinical trials on animals and invitro environment, WITHOUT ANY HUMAN TRIALS is another red flag ! This is being done by none other than political leaders like harsh vadhan and PM ! And ironically There is literally an act "Drugs and magic remedies act" under which we could book these ministers, but who cares !
