Alternative medicine may not always works as effectively as traditional western medicine, but they can’t harm you, right? Not true. Recent studies recently found that one in five Ayruvedic medicines contains toxic metallics like lead, arsenic and mercury.

Of hundreds of Ayurvedic remedies purchased from 25 different websites in the USA and India, 21% restricted detectable levels of at least one of these metals, and of that 21%, half had higher levels than would be considered healthy.

Ayurvedic medicine is an ancient practice that promotes overall health using a balance of medicine, meditation, exercise and diet, and while it can be part of a healthy

lifestyle, it’s always a good concept to talk to your doctor first before taking any kind of remedy, natural or not.
