The article currently states:
There is no scientific evidence for the effectiveness of Ayurvedic medicine for the treatment of any disease.

There are a few issues with this statement that make it unsuitable:
 An absolute negative is, of course, impossible to prove, and quite a high hurdle to even support reasonably well.
 There are countless examples, including some mentioned in both the cited article and this Wikipedia article, of ways that Ayurvedic treatments have been effective at treating an assortment of diseases.  The cited article includes 5 examples.  (Many statements about the efficacy of Ayurveda concentrate on major disorders.  But, eczema, as one minor example, is a disease which is readily treated by Ayurveda.  So, it may be appropriate to state that there is a lack of evidence showing its efficacy for treating ""certain diseases"", there is no way to support the claim that there is no scientific evidence as to its effectiveness in treating ""any disease"".)
 If there were strong evidence supporting the likelihood that ""no scientific evidence"" existed, then it may be a suitable statement.  But, such an strong statement requires strong support.  The only supporting evidence is one article which is not an academically rigorous source, and which, itself, offers 5 examples of scientific evidence supporting that certain Ayurvedic medicine is effective at treating certain disorders.
 The statement that ""there is no scientific evidence [...]"" is a claim, and not a supported fact.  For this claim to stand, it should be better supported.  Or, it might better be reworded.

I propose that the above claim be replaced by:
Though some studies suggest the efficacy of some Ayurvedic treatment for certain conditions, the science is inclusive as to the efficacy of Ayurveda as a complete system of treatment.

This statement is supportable and non-controversial.

I may come up with a list of disorders with supporting evidence as to Ayurvedic efficacy to broaden the claim that Ayurvedic treatments have been shown to be effective at treating certain conditions.  However, in the interim, I think there is sufficient cause to remove the claim that there is absolutely none unless such a statement could be at least strongly supported.
