The commonest myth with regard to Ayurvedic medicines is that these medicines are completely safe, and can therefore be safely consumed by the sick person on his/her own, without a physician’s prescription or advice. This reliance has led to large-scale self-medication by people all over the world, often leading to disappointing end-results, side-effects, or unwanted after-effects.

While it is true that most herbal medicines have a wide safety margin, there are also some herbs which can have very strong side-effects, e.g. Bhallatak (Semicarpus anacardium), even with a few doses, can cause skin rash and blisters, and burning urine with bleeding; Kuchla (Strychnos nux-vomica), taken in high doses and for prolonged periods, may cause convulsions; and Sarpagandha (Raulwofia serpentina), taken long-term, may cause depression and increased suicidal tendency. Ayurvedic preparations which contain minerals and Bhasmas may cause toxicity due to incorrect manufacturing methods, or the proximity of heavy or toxic metals. There is also a small risk of a cross-reaction with other medications.

Ordering Ayurvedic Herbal Medicines Online As Self-Medication – Dos and Don’ts

Most patients do perceive that medicine may differ from disease to disease, and from sick person to patient, and also that the same sick person may wish distinct medicine approaches from time to time. However, the failure of contemporary medicine to comprehensively treat a host of varied chronic ailments; the urgent need for resorting to alternative therapy (especially Ayurvedic treatment); and the local unavailability of such medicines or the related medicine expertise, has forced the mean sick person to seek medicines online. To facilitate decision-making for such patients, the following do’s and don’ts while ordering Ayurvedic medicines online, have been enumerated.

Do’s:

1) Check the authenticity of the products. This is easier said than done for the mean layman. This question can be nothing else but solved if there is a reference from man who has already used the products. Otherwise, it would be more prudent to check the authenticity of the web-site. This point is discussed ahead.

2) Try to fetch the maximum inherent facts on the products that you intend to use.

3) Consult your house doctor for more details and clarifications.

4) Inform your treating doctor about your decision to start Ayurvedic medicines.

5) Remain under the ongoing administration of some local physician.

6) Remain in touch with the doctors of the web-site from where you have ordered medicines.

7) Check for the authenticity of the web-site. The caress numbers and e-mail i.d.s of the web-site should be current and valid. The web-site article should be updated and should display concern for the well-being of the sick person rather than having purely selling content.

8) The selection of health problems which do not wish precise healing administration and can be treated by patients themselves can be highly subjective; nevertheless, a few examples are mentioned here. Ayurvedic herbal medicines can be ordered online as self-medication for the medicine of chronic acidity problems (but not a known peptic ulcer); chronic acne (pimples); mild to moderate tobacco and alcohol addiction or dependence; straightforward anemia; chronic bed-wetting in children; recurrent boils; chronic neuritis; recurrent muscle cramps; recurrent common cold and cough (after ruling out serious causes); chronic constipation; recurrent dandruff; chronic and straightforward skin diseases; premature or inordinate hair fall; recurrent headaches (after serious causes have been ruled out); high cholesterol; indigestion and gas problems; reduced immunity; disturbed sleep; weak memory or loss of memory; obesity; straightforward menstruation problems; recurrent mouth ulcers and chronic sexual problems.

Don’ts:

1) Do not try self-medication for complex heart and kidney diseases; metabolic disorders; inherited disorders; bleeding disorders; acute healing emergencies; chronic, end-stage diseases; auto-immune disorders; Hiv; cancers; any disease with multiple complications; and diseases where the end-result or the known complications can be serious or fatal.

2) Do not continue self-medication if there is no response within a stipulated time-period; or you see some unexpected results.

3) Do not conceal self-medication facts from your local house physician.

4) Do not rely heavily on testimonials or the advice of lay persons. What has worked for man else may not necessarily work for you.

5) Do not rely on instant cures for chronic health problems, especially life-style health problems.

6) Do not describe with web-sites with a dubious background, especially when the credentials of the owners cannot be verified.

7) Do not place undue point on claims of one cure-all for all diseases.

8) Do not believe in the efficacy of a medicinal product just because it is priced heavily.

Following the above-mentioned advice will thus help patients from getting the maximum inherent benefits from online ordering of Ayurvedic herbal medications.
