Ayurveda has to be protected from drug mafias.
(Provision of heavy fines for false claims, forgery of medicines, etc. in the name of Ayurveda is extremely important.)
------- Dr. Satyavan Saurabh
Ayurveda has a blend of thousands of years of natural healing tradition. Ayurvedic medicine i.e. home remedies is one of the oldest medical systems in the world. Ayurvedic approach is the best way to heal the patient, in naturopathy, health is given more importance than treatment. Naturopathy is the art of living a healthy life. The knowledge of natural remedies has come into the limelight all over the world during the Covid-19 epidemic.
Therefore, to meet the demand for natural remedies especially in the world market, there is a need to keep Ayurveda in front of the world in a good manner and complete it with the right information, the use of artificial medicines in Naturopathy is considered taboo. In natural medicine, toxic drugs are considered not only unnecessary for the body but also fatal. Nature is a doctor, not medicine.
The work of medicine is not to get rid of the disease, but it is the material that is used by nature to repair work. Therefore, in natural medicine, saran food items are medicines. In the changing condition, fake companies have come to the market today with their garbage in the name of Ayurveda, who are maligning the history of Ayurveda, we need to find new ways to avoid these so that this ancient education system of India Maintain dominance.
Modern thinking is finding alternative medicine. And that's good, India stands as the world's first choice to achieve a lot as a manufacturer and exporter of traditional herbal medicines. The growing attraction of the world with natural remedies, traditional and alternative medicines, and herbs augur well for India. Now they can become a major source of income for farmers and companies across the country.
Very small quantities of herbal medicines produced in India are exported, as they do not meet the regulatory standards required by the importing countries. Yet at its current level, with little export, it is estimated that Ayurveda is a Rs 30,000 crore industry in India. The recent coronal 'controversy emphasized that the government must play a role in encouraging the use of Ayurveda.
Ayurveda is a great source of income and export for India, we will need a modern regulatory system to succeed. To promote Ayurvedic medicines, it is important to ensure safety and to check the veracity of claims about the efficacy of these medicines. Otherwise, Ayurvedic medicines can be dangerous for health. These hazards mainly arise due to a number of reasons, such as not all plants are safe for consumption, the use of ash and non-plant material, illegal use of allopathic medicines, etc.
Some fictitious companies make dangerous metals illegal in the manufacture of Ayurvedic medicine. Recently, the US Food and Drug Administration warned against the use of certain Ayurvedic medicines because they found a drug in the name of Ayurveda containing dangerous levels of lead.
All this is done by unscrupulous drug makers. These commonly combine steroid medicines into Ayurvedic medicines. Some steroids (mostly corticosteroids) give a false sense of disease well-being by improving circulation and alertness.
Such drugs are like infections, they can exacerbate the underlying disease, but the patient takes steroids in the name of Ayurveda, he feels better and adopts it as a medicine. A study by Mumbai's King Edward Memorial Hospital found that about 40% of Ayurvedic medicines contain steroids.
Uncontrolled use of poisonous plants, the presence of heavy metals, and outright fraud (adding steroids) damage the reputation of Indian medicine. Unscrupulous and careless producers make profits by cheating, but in reality, they harm the status of the entire Ayurveda world.
The problem is even worse in international markets. After trying, we may be able to differentiate between established brands in India and dubious ones, but this is very difficult abroad.
Today, the regulation of Ayurveda, ensuring safety has become extremely important. Otherwise, Ayurveda will end in the future, we have to try not to sell garbage in the name of Ayurveda. For this, it is necessary to investigate the medical claims by applying the security provisions. The provision of heavy penalties for false claims, forgery of medicines, etc. in the name of Ayurveda is extremely important.
Well in 2003, the Government of India published the first official list of Ayurvedic medicines, called Pharmacopoeia. The publication of a pharmacopeia is the first step towards formalizing any medical system. In 2014, the government merged the regulation of Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy (collectively called Ayush) into a separate naming ministry. In 2017, the All India Institute of Ayurveda was established on the lines of the famous All India Institute of Medical Sciences in Delhi. Also recently, the government has decided to sell Ayurvedic medicines in Jan Aushadhi shops.
In this era of the corona, the inclination towards natural remedies, traditional and alternative medicines, and herbs are increasing all over the world. This inclination is a good sign for India. If these demands increase, then these medicines can become a source of good income for farmers and companies across the country,
If we create a legal system for Ayurvedic medicines with the promotion, promotion, dissemination of AYUSH, and herb cultivation, this step will not only protect patients but also make Ayurveda a safe, accountable, and effective system of treatment. As we will be able to see the future as the strongest and most effective method, in the changing times, this is a system in which India can be a world leader.
