India asks EU to exempt ayurvedic drugs from curbs - Financial Express Article.

[Guest guest]

Why only Ayurvedic herbs? India should NOT accept

restrictions on vitamins and other supplements too.

For example, the print " As directed by the physician "

should be removed by Dr. Reddy's Lab from its product

GLA (Gamma Linolenic Acid) because that is nothing but

evening primrose oil and borage oil and is available

without prescription in supermarkets in USA.
