Dear Jane,

 

Author is pleaseed to see that some one asks such questions; and also to offer

some explaination as to why this as well as one more message By Vaidya Sawant

was approved.

 

As you may be aware from several past postings, this moderator knows

the situation in Mumbai, where poor patients have to spend the travel

cost and time in value as much as the cost of medicines themselves, if they have

to get a medicine of particular quality and or specific

manufacturer. Most sellers of raw herbs are located in specific area

and getting herbs in small quantities is virtually impossible in 70% of

Mumbai. Not only one, but at least one hundred more retail outlets can

coexist in Mumbai, if they are well distributed geographically.

 

In such a scenario, if some from conventional Pharama changes heart and wishes

to start a herbal medicine retail outlet, he should get all assistance from

Vaidyas and Dos and Dont's advise. That was the intent in approving the message

from Rupali. The connected messages gave all members a

picture, what kind of businessmen are jumping into venture, and what

are their philosophical outlooks.

 

By the way, it was a hunch, which proved to be correct later, that

Rupali wished to fill up the gap of missing herbal medicines outlet in a big

area

covering sion, chembur, mahul, sindhi colony, govandi, mankhurd, a large area

dominated by middle and poor class. There is one outlet by Sandu Pharam, but

they sell only a limited number of their own products. Vaidyaratnam also have

outlet, but no raw herbs available in such a large area.

 

Secondly, many Vaidyas have prepared some good medicines or tonics

which can be used by one and all. Due to missing marketing muscle and

lack of note by ayurvedic pharma giants, they get lost in the well

advertised products. It is impossible for one vaidya to prepare several

medicines himself. In Tamilnadu, there is a society of Vaidyas which prepares

and distributes medicines. Author has obtained some good medicines from this

society as well as

from other Vaidyas at very reasonable prices. Though this website

avoids all commercial mails, occasionally, a product made by a member

vaidya, especially when it is applicable to children, contents are

given, price does not look excessive, it can be circulated. This particular

message by Vd. Vaishali Sawant mentioned the contents of the Shatawari Powder

for children, and members can make it at home, by asking her the

receipe/proportions etc. Most of the herbs she mentioned are available globally.

This knowledge should get propogated. That was the thinking of this moderator

when approving that message.

 

No matter how accurate the diagnosis, vaidya is only as successful as the

quality of medicines that he uses.

 

Looking at the complete thread of " retail outlet " , however, author now

realises that the original message, with its pure commercial intent could

have been better avoided. Taking cue, author would keep such messages

at bay in future. A side effect of that message is also seen, exposing

the financial problems of ayurvedic vaidyas even in the mother country of

ayurveda.
