What is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda is a whole-body (holistic) system of medicine that began in India more than 3,000 years ago. Ayurveda means the study of life. It takes a natural approach to all aspects of health and well-being.
Ayurveda is based on the idea that each person has certain life forces (doshas) and everything in the universe is connected. An imbalance in 1 area can affect another.
Is it safe?
Ayurveda has not been fully studied from a U.S. view. Ayurvedic medicines are regulated as dietary supplements in the U.S. They are not regulated as medicines. This means they don’t need to meet the safety standards as medicines.
Some Ayurvedic medicines have herbs, metals, minerals, and other materials. Some of these may be harmful if not used safely. Some Ayurvedic medicines may have toxic materials. These can include lead, arsenic, and mercury. Any herb, mineral, or metal used in this type of treatment may work against standard medicines or other supplements you have been prescribed.
