Myths about Ayurvedic Treatments that You Should Not Believe

Ayurvedic knowledge originated in India more than 5,000 years ago. That's why many scholars believe that it is the oldest healing science. The principles of many healing systems now familiar in the western world have roots in Ayurveda. But still, we are losing touch with this rich tradition because:

  • Most ayurvedic books are written in Sanskrit that most of us don't understand.

  • Western influence on our lifestyle makes us feel traditional belief systems and practices are not as effective as those techniques that are backed by modern science and technology.

The common myths about ayurvedic medicines often prevent people from taking online consultation on Ayurveda. Let's dispel some of these myths.

Myth #1

Many people think that ayurvedic medicines take longer to provide results, but they never try to learn the reason behind it. Ayurvedic medicines may take longer to give results because it doesn't just alleviate symptoms but also treat the underlying cause of the illness. Many people only opt for ayurvedic medicine after trying other medications. As a result, the body may take some time to adopt ayurvedic medicines and show results. The time needed to cure patients depends on several factors like the severity of the illness, how soon the problem was diagnosed, how the body reacts to the remedy, etc.

Myth #2

People often believe that they don't need ayurvedic skincare creams because they can use home remedies. But they need to understand that naturally derived ingredients need to be processed to remove the harmful compounds and isolate the good elements. Let's understand this fact with an example. Citrus ingredients are rich in antioxidants, but their direct application can make the skin sensitive to sun damage. 

Essential oils also provide excellent benefits to the skin but only when you use them in particular amounts. Maintaining the exact proportions of ingredients may not always be possible when applying home remedies. However, ayurvedic skincare formulations are backed by proper research and can be the best solution to get smooth and glowing skin.

Myth #3

It is a well-recorded form of ancient medicine that has been refined for thousands of years.
