Ayurveda is an ancient system of healing that comes from India. It’s natural, safe, and has been used for thousands of years. But one common question many people ask is: Can Ayurvedic medicine have side effects? The short answer is yes, but only if misused.
The Truth About Ayurvedic Side Effects
Just like any other form of medicine, Ayurvedic medicine can have side effects—but only when it’s taken wrongly, without proper advice.
When used correctly:
- Prescribed by a qualified Ayurvedic doctor,
- After a complete check-up and correct diagnosis
Ayurvedic treatments are safe and usually free of side effects.
| But here’s a warning:If you buy any Ayurvedic product off the shelf and take it without knowing your body type or problem, it can cause adverse effects. |
So, remember – even natural medicines can be powerful, and you should never self-medicate.
Common Ayurvedic Medicines & What They Treat
People often believe Ayurvedic medicines are slow or expensive. That’s not true! Ayurveda treats everyday problems with natural remedies and builds immunity too.
