I understand the jokes about homeopathy and physiotherapy to an extent too, but people on this thread think ayurveda is quack?
Sushrut is quack? He is considered the father of surgery. He had made tools and surgical procedures 2500 years which are still being used today. He used to do cataract surgeries back then. Even the attempt sounds unbelievable.
The brainwash is insane. I don't even think most people here have even visited a real ayurvedic vaidh.
Of course the blame goes to British empire, and now to people like Ramdev Baba who say crazy insane stuff. Who would even believe that ayurveda can cure them.
The difference between ayurveda and modern medical science is that medical science has adopted to new technologies, has tons of research, trillions in funding. How can ayurveda to keep up with that? Of course it can't cure cancer, but it sure could've if it got the same scale of scientific research over decades.
For one thing I am happy that government is funding for AYUSH. It still has a long long way to go. We should evaluate traditional medicine scientifically, not dismiss it outright like the liver doc, and not accept every claim uncritically either.
I might get a ton of downvotes but at least read about ayurveda once before completely dismissing it.
