Ayurveda is neither a replacement for allopathy, nor a threat. it’s an adjunct. no one is that idiotic to go to an ayurvedic doctor for emergencies/high risk pregnancies. it could do with reform, modernisation, massive funding for R&D, and sophistication, to suit modern day needs
Ayurveda often succeeds where allopathy fails. Ayurveda + yoga are known to be great treatment options for chronic pain, inflammatory/autoimmune conditions. in the west, these conditions are often prescribed opioid painkillers, and pharma companies pushing opioids is what started
their sweeping opioid crisis.
ayurveda is capable of successfully managing many chronic pain conditions and should be given its rightful place alongside modern allopathy, ideally with the physician working with an ayurvedic specialist to monitor and intervene where required.
chronic pain management in ayurveda (a much safer alternative to opioid and non-opioid anagelsics esp in patients with co-morbidities, in my opinion) https://www.wjpmr.com/download/article/33032018/1523880026.pdf
also don’t get triggered by the word “reform”, i don’t meant changing the foundational principles, i mean changing/easing the system of delivery by which it’s accessed and available for patient consumption.
