Magic shrub to get a revival -thehealingbenefits of Guggul

[Guest guest]

Dear Swamy,

Why use the word magic as adjective for Ayurvedic herb? Do you know this word

has become a curse to Ayurveda and created lots of havoc in literate people?

People start expecting out-of-the-world results because of this word. Science

does not believe in magic. Magic was a concept when human mind had no answers

for some natural phenomenon or the apparent cause-effect mechanism was unknown

in ancient times.

Ayurveda has itself never used the word " CHAMATKAAR " ( sanskrit word for magic)

in any of its herb property discriptions. It has been agreat uphill task for the

stalwarts of Ayurveda to re-instate the glory of Ayurveda as a Health Promoting

Medical Life Science.

Do you want to put Ayurveda back to the aboriginal / jungle stage by using this

word " magic " ?

another good attack on the use of magic in Ayurveda. yes it is very true if

you use the word magic,it really does take away from the scientific

principles of Ayurveda and conjures snake charmers,etc. it is definitely not

appropriate for the proper resurgence of Ayurveda. once again I applaud you

dr. muzumdar for quickly bring back light from darkness.

sincerely,
