Is Ayurveda as a system of medicine very slow in effective action?
• Ayurveda can treat very rapidly…especially, common cold, infections, fever. The speed at which the effective herb medicines act will also depend on diet and lifestyle. That is why in Ayurveda Ahaara (food) and Vihaara (daily routine activities/lifestyle) are given prior to taking medicines (Aushadha). • Also it is important to add, that if a medicine is taking a longer time to be effective, it is because Ayurveda is treating the root of the problem. It is not to be assumed that Ayurveda in general takes a long time.
