Ayurvedic
Medicine of India is not regulated in the US at this time. Thus, there is no minimum standard which
persons must meet before being allowed to accept patients. In order to have Ayurvedic Medicine
regulated to provide a safeguard to the public as provided in other health
care professions, AAPRA has filed a petition
in Maryland in 2005 and in Virginia in 2006 for the regulation
and licensing of AMI graduates (BAMS). More

More about
Ayurvedic Products
Studies have shown that
supplements are beneficial as adjuncts to standardized western treatments for
specific illnesses and can perhaps enhance recovery. They are being
recommended due to their overall health promoting qualities; the person's
individual body type/constitution and current health state determine which
one is chosen. Many of the herbs present in the products have well documented
pharmacological studies supporting the therapeutic value of the products.
The purpose of the Ayurvedic consultation is to help a person regain a
positive healthy status in both body and mind, and maintain good health. It
is recommended that patients receive consultation to determine daily routine,
dietary habits, nutrition, exercise, life style, and dietary supplements to
bring back the harmony of the body and mind. These recommended changes assist
as an adjunct to whatever treatment patients are currently getting and
eventually result in overall improved health. Ayurvedic consultation is
provided as a part of the traditional health care system of India.
