Can We Eat Ayurvedic And English Medicine Together - #4266

I’ve been wondering about this for a while: can we eat Ayurvedic and English medicine together? Recently, I started taking Ayurvedic supplements for digestion and stress management, but I’m also on prescribed English medicines for hypertension. I’m concerned if combining both could cause any interactions or reduce the effectiveness of either treatment. For example, I’ve been prescribed antihypertensive medication, and I’ve started taking Ayurvedic herbs like ashwagandha and triphala. Does Ayurveda recommend keeping a gap between the two? If yes, how long should that gap be? Or is it safe to take both Ayurvedic and English medicine together at the same time without worrying about side effects? Another thing that confuses me is how these two systems of medicine interact. I’ve read that Ayurvedic medicines work on balancing doshas and strengthening the body from within, while English medicines are more symptom-focused. Does this mean they complement each other, or could they clash? I’d love to know if anyone has successfully combined both approaches. I also wonder if the type of Ayurvedic medicine matters when taking it with English medicine. For instance, would herbs like tulsi or guggul interact differently compared to Ayurvedic formulations like churnas or kashayams? Are there any common combinations to avoid? One of my main concerns is about liver health. Since both Ayurvedic and English medicine together are processed through the liver, could combining them put extra strain on it? Should I consider detoxing or consulting an Ayurvedic doctor to check compatibility before continuing both treatments? Lastly, I’ve been thinking about whether it’s better to stick with one system of medicine instead of mixing the two. While I’ve had positive results from both, I don’t want to take unnecessary risks. Would consulting both an Ayurvedic doctor and an allopathic doctor help in making a safe plan?
