thank you all very much. Unfortunately, there is no institutionalized
connection between Ayurveda and Naturopathy. In Ayurveda these laws are
fixed since quite a while but in Naturopathy they are just being
formulated.
medindia was quite helpful.
Venky, what kind of roots do you have in Kerala? Anything related to
medical systems?
Anish, what kind of doc are you?
Ayurveda?
Varun, Who is that couple and where are they found?
Shev, indeed we met in Bangalore :-) I might have a look in that book
again, maybe I will change my opinion about it. DIdnt you tell me the
story about the case from Jindal? When did that actually happen?
cheers from Pune!

Welcome Eva:
So, as you can see, on Silklist one does not need a lawyer to respond to
'legal' queries ;-)
But really, that seems like a pool of ready information there, even for a
lawyer in India who does not practice medicine law.

I am not a lawyer, but one of the comments that concerned me was about the
use of heavy metals in popular ayurvedic medicines like Chawanprash. As far
as I know, naturopathy and ayurveda are loosely regulated as compared to
allopathy. The Indian government has tried to document some of these
practices through the Traditional Knowledge Digital Library.
Hah. Forget heavy metals - thats "supposed" to be part of some ayurvedic
medicine apparently.
For what you need, look at, for example,
http://ayurbhishak.wordpress.com/2010/09/01/%E2%99%A3-official-tests-confirm-musli-power-extra-of-kunnath-pharmaceuticals-as-adulterated/
That's an "ayurvedic viagra" - heavily marketed on tv, sponsors sports
teams etc. So what do they do but adulterate their product with
tadalafil (aka cialis) so it does get you the "expected results".
They're not alone - several other commercial ayurvedic medicines have
been at various times shown to have been adulterated with antibiotics,
steroids etc etc allopathic drugs.
