Are Currently Available Vaccines Harmful?

Over the last few decades, vaccines have shown their efficacy in preventing, reducing the severity of infection, or eradicating many infectious diseases like small pox, polio etc. However, the recent deaths of several children in different parts of India, after receiving vaccination, has cast doubts about the quality of currently available vaccines.We recently lost a brilliant professional colleague to vaccination considered necessary for International travel.
Some traditional practitioners of Ayurveda claim that they do not give vaccination to their children, but give them Ayurvedic medicines like Vacha(Acorus calamus) rubbed in Gold leaf or Suvarna Bhasma.The efficacy of such medicines in imparting immunity, needs to be scientifically studied.

Herbal Medicines - Better than Synthetic Substitutes

Currently, a fall-out of rapid industrialization and development is the gross pollution we have to face on the roads in our busy cities. A common side effect experienced by many is allergic conjunctivitis.Most eye specialists explain that the redness and watering of the eyes is because of dryness resulting from pollution. They prescribe eye-drops like "Just Tears", which are synthetic substitutes of the natural fluid in the eye membranes. However, a large number of patients have experienced that mild Ayurvedic eye-drops containing rosewater, turmeric, and other herbal medicines give better relief than these synthetic eye drops.

Herbal medicines: Treatment of Mental Retardation

Mental Retardation is usually caused due to some congenital defect in the brain, or brain damage caused during child-birth. There is usually no cure for this problem, once the damage is done. However, Ayurvedic herbal medicines can be very useful in mild to moderate mental retardation. I will mention a case study to demonstrate this point. We gave two herbal medicines to a 30 year old mentally retarded woman for two years. At the end of two years, this woman could speak very clearly; her vocabulary improved; she started using complete sentences; she was also more responsible and less aggressive ; she also started doing some simple chores.
