does ayurvedic medicine contains steroids - #25471
I am really confused about something. For the past few months, I've been suffering from eczema, and a friend suggested I try some ayurvedic medicine for it. I read a bit about it online, and I thought it might be a more natural approach, right? But then I heard someone mention that some ayurvedic treatments might have steroids in them, which totally freaked me out. Does ayurvedic medicine contains steroids or not? My doc is pushing for the usual topical steroids, and I really want to avoid that. Last week, I went to this ayurvedic practitioner, and he gave me some herbs and oils. They smelled nice, but every time I ask him about steroids, he gets all vague, which just adds to my worries. Like, what if the ayurvedic stuff does contain steroids and I just don’t realize it? I mean, it seems like a contradiction, you know? The whole point of going the ayurvedic route is to be natural. Just wondering if other people have faced this confusion too. Any insights would be really appreciated!
