If you have been keeping up with the news lately, you must have come across the news of the Indian government banning 344 drugs recently. These include very famous and everyday medicines that we use almost regularly without prescriptions or a doctor’s advice like codeine (found in cough syrups), nimesulide (found in anti-inflammatory drugs) and etc. The ban comes into effect questioning the ability of the drugs. Small ailments like cold, coughs and sore throats actually help in building up a healthy immune system. The use of antibiotics (over-the-counter drugs) actually slows down and eventually lowers immunity, a fact that is now claimed by many and backed up by science. In brief, when your immune system is under attack, it builds up its own resistance to fight back the antigens and produces antibodies. Taking of antibiotics disrupts in your body’s regular functions of producing antibodies. This video shows a mother’s earnest plea to awaken you to the fact that taking a medicine readily available in the markets is not the best solution for ailments that our body is capable of fighting on its own. And with a ban imposed on so many drugs, switching to Ayurveda and Ayurvedic medicines will just be the wisest move to make. Ayurveda has never let us down in the past. Why would it do so now?
