“What are the current prospects of Ayurveda/Homeopathic and Allopathic?”

As the race for the vaccine or cure intensifies, several doctors and researchers have been constantly experimenting with numerous medicines, drugs to see if there have a possible cure for the issue. In addition, there are several alternatives and complementary medicine forms i.e. Homeopathic are being studied broadly. As same Ayurveda is one among them, being studied in the form of treatment. Currently, most of the researchers are putting more efforts to get effective treatment through Ayurveda medical approach.

Let’s discuss allopathic and Homeopathic/ Ayurveda…………………………………….............

Homeopathic medicines always follow the principle of the source which causes the problem will medicate it. This medical approach also follows the theory that a lower dose of medication can act as an effective dose rather than a heavier dose. This medical approach is usually believed in natural substances i.e., belladonna, lead, lavender, phosphoric acid, marigold and arnica. The main goal of homoeopathic medicine is to strengthen the immune system with small doses of medicines. Thus, doses can be varied from person to person. Different action of the herbs and tonic are currently being researched to support their use. However, there are no visible adverse effects to homoeopathic medicine that denotes more researches are still required. This medical approach is not considered mainstream but it has become one of the major subjects of new research these days. Few homoeopathic practitioners are still not licenced with the medical store. 

On the other hand, allopathic medicine term is used for western medicine. It roughly defined as curing a symptom with something which is it’s against. There is the best example of a laxative that is used to treat constipation. There is a common allopathic medical treatment that involves migraine medicines, antibiotics, pain relievers and chemotherapy i.e. diabetic drugs and surgery. However, this medical approach is considered mainstream medication but it often develops doubt among patients just because of the side effect of the treatment or medication. The practitioners of allopathic drugs are generally licenced medical stores. The main objective of the allopathic drug is to prevent illness and treat illness too. There is an example of preventive medical treatment such as the covid-19 vaccine. However, allopathic medicine must follow constant research and trials so, it is a more evidence-based medical approach. 

In 2019, Covid-19: a comparative study of Allopathic Medicine (Chloroquine and Zinc) and Homeopathic Medicines (China Officinalis or Cinchona and Zincum Metallicum) have already illustrated that “chloroquine is an antimalarial drug which is used to treat patients who are infected with malaria. It is an allopathic drug that is approved by FDA for diagnosing lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and malaria. On contrary, “cinchona” was previous introduced by the father of Homeopathic German Physician Samuel Christian Hahnemann to treat malaria patient. It includes homoeopathic drug. Thus, both drug posses’ similar symptoms and treating properties. But, after that cinchona is used in place of chloroquine because it does not have visible side effect yet.


There are various places whereas traditional medicine is preferred. Homeopathic/Ayurveda still prescribes as a form of prophylactic medicine or immunity-boosting but does not actively encourage.

The Minister of AYUSH has reiterated the application of alternative medicines i.e. homoeopathic and Ayurveda to treat coronavirus and suggested sipping water boiled with tulsi, turmeric and ginger to fight the infection. Apart from this, Minister recommended the use of a homoeopathic medical approach to preventing Covid-19 infection and ‘symptomatic management’ by using Unani medicines. “Arsenicum album 30 is a homoeopathic medicine which is majorly used in the cases of respiratory infection”. This statement claimed by Ayurveda Minister. Generally, Minister of AYUSH stands for Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, Sowa Rigpa and Homeopathic.

Thus, a big debate is taking place between allopathy and homoeopathy to get the best prospect. Still, there is no treatment perfect for everyone. So, research on both medical approach is extensively working together to get different cures for the different people while also withdrawal symptoms.

Jai Hind! Jai Bharat!

Stay Safe! Stay Healthy!😊😊😊😊
