Safety & efficacy of Ayurvedic formulations

[Guest guest]

Hi Ram,

Ayurveda - the science of life, is time tested, oldest, popular,

widely used, traditional pathy in India but stale fish do start the

stink in the water body. Ayurvedic industry were given some special

privilages in India like special tax concessions including waiver of

excise duty. To enjoy the offered concessions many enterpreneurs

jumped in which led to uncontrolled, mushrooming growth of Ayurvedic

companies. These were unfortunately not equated with medicines so

escaped the stringent monitoring and controls. This was further

complimented by poor GMP by most operators.

Yes, presence of heavy metals in Ayurvedic formulations has been

reported by many and has become a favourite hunting ground for

criticising the Ayurvedic formulations. Ideally the heavy metals

should not be present in formulations beyond the prescribed limits

in PPM.
