Ans. It is not true for all medicines. In Ayurveda, sources of drugs are herbal, metals, minerals, animal origin etc. Some of them are toxic even in small doses. These are used for medicine preparation only after following specified methods of purification and under the supervision of experienced Ayurvedic physicians.
