Disadvantages Of Ayurveda - #5030

I’ve been trying Ayurveda for a while now, but honestly, I’m starting to feel unsure about it. Let me explain. So, I started using Ayurvedic remedies because I wanted something more natural for my anxiety and digestion issues. I’m not a fan of all these chemical pills doctors throw at you, so Ayurveda seemed like the perfect choice. The thing is, I’ve noticed a few problems and I wonder if anyone else feels the same. First, the herbal concoctions I was prescribed (some powders and oils) tasted awful, and I struggled to stick to the schedule. I get it, Ayurveda focuses on routine, but for someone like me who’s not used to eating meals at exact times, it’s a nightmare. On top of that, I was told to avoid certain foods entirely, like tomatoes and coffee, which I love! Is this strict diet really necessary, or am I overreacting? Another thing that’s bothering me is the lack of clear evidence. My family keeps asking why I’m spending so much money on treatments that don’t come with guarantees. I’ve read about the disadvantages of Ayurveda, and one common issue seems to be that not all practitioners are well-trained. How do I even know if my Ayurvedic doctor is legit? Oh, and here’s the worst part: I got a rash after using one of the herbal oils recommended to me. When I asked my doctor about it, they said it’s part of my body “detoxing.” Detoxing? It felt more like my skin was burning. Is this normal in Ayurveda, or should I be worried? Lastly, the treatments take forever to show results. I’ve been following the recommendations for almost three months now, and while my digestion has slightly improved, the anxiety is still here. Is it supposed to take this long? I understand that one of the disadvantages of Ayurveda is that it focuses on long-term healing, but how long is too long before I give up? Does anyone else here feel like the disadvantages of Ayurveda outweigh the benefits? Should I keep going with it, or is there something I’m missing? How do I deal with the rash, and is it really part of detox? Any advice would be great because I’m feeling pretty lost here.
