Traditional medicines, whether ayurvedic or herbal, have been popular with certain sections of the society. The overriding logic which may explains their popularity is that because they are nature derived, hence, don’t cause any harm.
However, facts do not bear this out. Very often products available in the market contain chemicals, preservatives, pollutants in unregulated quantities and so they can be more harmful than the so-called modern medicines. However, most proprietary herbal ayurvedic medicines are safe and can be combined with modern medicines if the client can satisfy herself of the authenticity of the product.
