In respect of Ayurvedic and Unani drugs the Udupa Committee Report$ had

disclosed that costly raw materials such as gold, musk, pearl, saffron, etc.,

which are component ingredients in various Ayurvedic and Unani drugs were either

not used or were substituted by imitation products.

 

The Controller confirmed (August 2003) that the targets for collection of

samples of Ayurvedic and Unani preparations were not fixed and samples

containing costly raw materials were also not collected. Thus in absence of

specific norms and directions to collect category-wise samples containing costly

raw materials, the consumers were left at the mercy of manufacturers, dealers

and practitioners.
