Ayurvedic Treatment
The Nature Of Medical Consultation In Ayurvedic
Medicine
Ayurvedic treatment comprises of providing
medical consultation along Ayurveda principles. Find the supplements
used for in Ayurvedic medicine for enhancing health and keeping away
diseases.
In India, ayurveda doctors enjoy great legal
freedom - they can prescribe modern drugs, they can prescribe
ayurvedic or herbal formulations or they can devise herbal
formulations for their patients.
But for International patients, ayurveda doctors
should limit themselves to herbs, herbal medicine and supplements.
No modern drug should be prescribed by them. The medical
consideration should be left to medical doctors and health
practitioners.
That is why we advise ayurveda doctors to
prescribe only and only herbs based ayurvedic formulations for
global consultation. Only those western herbs should be advised with
which the herbalist is familiar - benefits and uses, dosage and
biochemical composition, side effects and precautions and drug herb
interactions, and modern herbal research.
In US, European and several other countries, the
scenario is quite different. And if some ayurveda doctor is offering
consultation, he should adjust according the global requirements.
Ayurvedic Treatment In India By Ayurveda Doctors
Ayurveda doctors are practicing quite differently
from all the herbalists all over the world. We are pointing toward
some main differences here.
Ayurvedic Treatment And The Legal Recognition:
Ayurvedic medicine and ayurvedic treatment is a legally recognized
medical system and ayurveda doctors study all the modern medical
subjects like medical doctors. The duration of ayurvedic and medical
degree and internship is same.
However, in most other countries, particularly US
and European countries, there is very poor regulation of herbal
practitioners and they are not considered as qualified herbalists. Their
education, course curriculum and duration is much shorter than
medical doctors that is why they don't enjoy that much freedom and
recognition.
Any ayurvedic doctor should offer ayurvedic treatment globally keeping the above facts in mind and the following
considerations.
-
Herbalists can't prescribe, they can suggest.
-
Herbalists can't diagnose, they can inform.
-
Herbs are not medicine or drug, they are only
food supplements.
-
Always advise to inform your doctor if you are
taking some herbal supplements.
-
Herbalists don't treat, they can help to cure.
Ayurvedic Treatment And Ayurvedic Medicine:
Herbalists offer herbal supplements in various
forms to patients but a normal ayurvedic doctor has more choices for
his patients in India.
-
Only herbs based ayurvedic formulations in
various forms.
-
Minerals and metallic compounds like purified
mercury, sulphur, tin, lead, iron, mica, borates, calcium, silver,
gold, and ashes of several other minerals and organic materials.
-
Herbo-mineral products.
Though minerals are frequently used by doctors
and some herbalists as nutritional supplements, the use of heavy
metals is prohibited. Most people are afraid of and frown upon
the use of heavy metals in some ayurvedic preparations.
Some ayurvedic preparations that are put under
"Rasa" categories are using these minerals and heavy metals. There
is very little known and written about these ayurvedic preparations
outside Indian subcontinent.
Holistic-herbalist.com will definitely make a
balanced presentation of these ayurvedic preparations. Their benefit
and safety is being proven by some ayurvedic companies in animal and
human trials. Ascertaining the safety of these preparations is more
easier under present conditions when we can monitor closely the
effects of some medicine on physiological processes and biochemicals.
Ayurvedic doctor should use only herbs based
preparations while offering ayurvedic treatment to patients globally. This
policy should be clear to the patients right from the begining.
To save oneself from illegal behavior and to be
serviceful to one's global clients, this is the only way. Now some
pharma companies are defaming ayurvedic preparations saying that
these herbal and natural products contain heavy metals.
Simply there is no sense in claiming that we
found out heavy metals in a herbo-mineral preparation when the label
over that medicine is clearly stating that such and such herbs and
minerals and metals are present in this proportion. So this concern
should be judiciously addressed for sake of professional behavior.
Another issue that comes is that some herbs do
contain heavy metals or toxic chemicals. I do say that most herbs
are safe for this consideration and there is no point to do heavy
metal testing for every herb intended for medicinal purpose.
Some locations have polluted water and soil with
abnormally high concentration of heavy metals or toxic substances.
And it is natural that herbs from that area might contain such
chemicals. There should be measures to ascertain the safety of herbs
from these areas.
Otherwise most of wild grown or organically grown
or forest grown herbs are free from heavy metals and outside toxic
substances.
Ayurvedic Treatment And The Proper Knowledge Of Western Herbs:
There are many herbs that are not popular or used
or taught to ayurveda doctors for ayurvedic treatment in India. The practical solution is to
get good knowledge of these herbs from reputed and dependable
resources. It is best if ayurveda doctors pursue some distance
learning course in herbal medicine from reputed source.
Most patients will ask many questions about many
herbs that are popular in their own countries or a standard remedy
for an ailment in a particular country. So be well informed and
resourceful about western herbs. Never fool others that you are informed
when you are not. Invest
some time and money and the fruits will be sweeter. All people do
know that one person can't master all the herbs in world!
Ayurvedic Treatment And Ayurvedic Consultation:
I like to highlight these points in the end.
Ayurvedic doctors should be well informed of the status of ayurvedic
medicine and herbs in other countries of the world. And then he
should practice following those guidelines.
The prescription or herbal consultation should
include only herbal preparations. It is better that no preparation
is containing illegal or banned herb for that particular country.
One should have sound knowledge of Western herbs
and modern herbal medicine for ayurvedic treatment. So a little sacrifice when combined with
some good learning and served with serviceful heart and informed
mind is sure remedy for a herbalist who aims for global
consultation.
