Introduction: Ayurveda is such a vast and rich
subject that, when writing about it, one gets a feeling
that justice to the subject is not being done. Because
this subject has not been understood, some writers can
leave the reader with more unanswered questions than new
information. This series of articles aims to clear up
some of the very valid doubts that persist both with
western regulatory authorities and consumers. Ayurveda
has a lot to offer for the benefit of global health and
it should be accepted by all with an open mind and not
as a threat to any form of medical science.
Quality Standards are very important for any industry
and are of primary importance when dealing with
healthcare products. This cannot and should not be
compromised under any circumstances, even when dealing
with Complementary and Alternative Medicine or
Traditional Medicine or Natural and Herbal Products,
even though we may view them as 'supplements' or under
some other such convenient heading. Often, unscrupulous
organisations make use of the easier regulations for
such products and pass off inferior and at times
substandard products that may be to the detriment of the
health of individuals. When such incidents are,
reported, unfortunately, the particular science gets the
blame and we tend to argue the case based on such
incidents. Ayurveda is no exception and has suffered at
the hands of such individuals. The benefits of Ayurveda
must not become lost in this argument while there is a
global need for such products to improve the health of
mankind.
