actually the main problem is that we indians have forgotten that before elopathy came to our country we also used to live,fight ailment and live lives in a much healthier way than we do now.When Baba ramdev came into limelight also the mbbs,ms doctors feared what will happen to their profession if people start getting cured by doing pranayam,yoga and taking natural medicines at Rs 30-40Rs(This is the rate of medicine at his ayurvedic centre.surprised?).Therefore they started giving interviews on tv making fun of these ancient recipes of healthy living.I dont have to go far away but will tell you what happened in my own house.My mother had severe problem of fatty liver and pancreas and used to yell with pain and the doctor gave her a list of tests(to fill his pocket ofcourse) and then 6-7 medicines all of which together cudnt do much to my mom.Then she went to Patanjali aarogya centre had a check up with the free doctor there who gave medicines costing next to nothing,gave her asanas to do and asked her to take GO-ARKA(distilled cow urine).my mom for two months took all but not GO-ARK.when she cudnt tolerate the pain one day she decided to drink it and is been drinking this medicine till date and the ailment is almost gone.So now tell me.which is better?
As far as soil is concerned I saw in Jhansi ki Raani serial also that Tantia Tope put soil on his bullet wound.Soil has very unique properties and can be definitely used to cure a lot of diseases provided u trust ur own country''s therapy and do not go to the doctor at the drop of a hat.
elopathy can only score over ayurved when it comes to emergency like somebody dying in road accident etc or heart attack etc...The difference between the both is that elopathic medicines are a temporary cure and in long run ruins ur body but saves you when you are dying whereas ayurved helps you maintain a healthy body in such a way that u do not stand much chances of having a heart attack
Trust the nature friends...trust the mother earth...
