Ayurvedic herbal medicines often contain dangerous levels of heavy metals like lead, at least the ones sold here. I also think it's based on some kind of elemental system which sounds a lot like beliefs that Westerners abandoned a few hundred years ago (reminds me of the Shakespeare plays that talk about the humours).
I don't really know if I want to get into a big discussion about the water supply system unless your counterpoint is that all people have access to clean, parasite free water in India, which I will find very hard to believe.
Bashing only due to some of your prejudice belief is not a fantastic thing !
I suggest you have patience of research before making comments which are without any ground reality!
As in the particular post you made above all facts are just opposite to the reality and truth .
Plastic surgery, cataract surgery, puncturing to release fluids in the abdomen, extraction of foreign elements, treatment of anal fistulas, treating fractures, amputations, cesarean sections, and stitching of wounds were known in Ayurveda in the early centuries of the first millennium ADThe medical works of both Sushruta and Charaka were translated into the Arabic language during the Abbasid Caliphate (ca. 750).These Arabic works made their way into Europe via intermediaries. In Italy, the Branca family of Sicily and Gaspare Tagliacozzi (Bologna) became familiar with the techniques of Sushruta.
British physicians traveled to India to see rhinoplasty being performed by native methods. Reports on Indian rhinoplasty were published in the Gentleman's Magazine in 1794. Joseph Constantine Carpue spent 20 years in India studying local plastic surgery methods. Carpue was able to perform the first major surgery in the western world in 1815.Instruments described in the Sushruta Samhita were further modified in the Western World.
We still practice this and lots of people from west come to have benefit of this and we are proud of this so called thing westerners left
