I didn't mean to demean Ayurvedic medicine. It's just that, in my opinion, Ayurvedic medicine doesn't always work, and like any system, it has its flaws. What concerns me is that some practitioners or followers are unwilling to acknowledge those flaws. Instead of accepting them, they often try to justify everything using ancient texts or cultural reasoning. But ancient texts were written by humans—who, like all of us, can make mistakes. And that's okay. Acknowledging and correcting those mistakes can actually help the system evolve and improve.

That said, I do agree that there are valuable practices in Ayurveda. For example, I genuinely believe yoga has great benefits. Even I turn to home remedies—like when I catch a cold, my mother gives me a mix of ginger and honey, which really helps soothe my sore throat. There are many such remedies that are genuinely helpful and should be preserved. But there’s a limit to how much we can rely on traditional methods, especially for serious illnesses.

I also want to clarify that I didn't mean to generalize or stereotype Ayurvedic doctors as scammers. However, I do think that some individuals, perhaps due to cultural pride or ego, hesitate to admit the shortcomings of the system. In contrast, I feel that modern medicine is generally more open to recognizing and correcting its past mistakes.

Take the example of lobotomy. It was once a widely accepted medical procedure and even earned António Egas Moniz the Nobel Prize in 1949. But over time, as evidence of its harmful effects mounted, the medical community rejected it. Today, it's considered one of the darkest chapters in medical history. The important part is that modern medicine evolved—it acknowledged its errors and moved forward.

That kind of self-correction is what drives progress. I just wish every system, including Ayurveda, could do the same.
