Guest guest Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 In a move that could deal a blow to India's ayurvedic agenda, the Canadian government has banned the sale of Indian ayurvedic medicines in the country. Canadian authorities claim that Indian ayurvedic drugs contain high levels of metals like lead, mercury and arsenic, which pose grave health risks. Hamdard's Safi, Dabur's Shilajit, Himalaya Drug's Karela Capsules and Zandu Pharma's Maha Sudarshan Churna Powder are some of the medicinal products which Canada has pronounced unsafe for consumption. Ayurvedic medicinal products are used in traditional Indian healing and often imported from India. According to the principles of ayurvedic medicines, heavy metals may be used because of their reputed therapeutic properties. qualified ayurvedic and siddha physician group must be formed to curb this matter. anybody over there?
