Doctor Google

Doctor: Who told you to take that?
Patient: I searched on internet.

There are people who take medicines for years together without prescription with their own will, but wont take medicines if doctor gives. The reason is most of them are already tried by themselves. Anyhow Ayurvedeeya medicines are available on counters and can be taken by anyone without proscription of a registered practitioner. So people go to shops and buy medicines just like they buy vegetables. Along with Potato, Tomato, Spinach they take home Ashwagandha, Shatavari, Trifala, Avipattikar, Panchasakar and what not. Either they don't know that these are to be taken under guidance or they consider that there is no need of guidance for Ayurvedeeya medicines. We keep searching medicine names on internet and keep taking them any time. Because these are Ayurvedic medicines. No side effects. So no harm in taking medicines. Why to waste money on doctors when we can treat ourself? Just search on internet and treat yourself. Ayurved doctors just waste 9 years for learning what they could learn on a single click of a mouse.

Basic problem is, we don't know the difference between Modern medicine and Ayurvedic medicines. Even though there is no side effect, an Ayurvedic medicine shows perfect result only when it is used on proper patient and in proper condition of disease. A doctor who has spent at least 5 and half years of his life learning how to differentiate these conditions is required for proper selection of medicines. Internet can give just a little idea, but proper treatment requires a living Vaidya to examine.
