India is fairly Wild West when it comes to what people can seek out as potential solutions for their health issues.
No one is stopping anyone from seeking out ayurveda, homeopathy or whatever else you want to try.
But if you do try something and you advertise outcomes of your treatment in a less than complete or transparent way, you are being manipulative.
Let's say an actress strength trains, eats optimally, does a bunch of cardio, sleeps on point, is on a bevy of multivitamins and minerals, excludes certain foods, has her bloodwork monitored by doctors, manages her time and stress well and also happens to pop a couple of herbal extracts to help with an autoimmune condition. Every one of those interventions helped with that condition. The last one arguably the least.
But when she talks about how the herbal extracts helped her manage her condition, a casual listener draws a simplistic conclusion that the herbs cured her. This is misleading and untrue.
India has no reliable legal system to fight misleading claims. There is no mechanism to scrutinise medicine, conflicts, supplements or prescriptions. It's pretty much buyer beware. There are no studies. Just word of mouth and claims. This is a terrifying system. So it's important that people ask questions. I can respect your right to do what you want. But I do not need to respect what you do. This applies to medicine, allopathy and homeopathy. Every decision that is discussed in the public domain deserves scrutiny, debate and critique.
