Ans: While several scientific publications have described Ayurvedic medicine and its components, only a few clinical trials using these methods have been published in Western medical journals. A few studies indicate that Ayurvedic preparations can help manage symptoms in people with type 2 diabetes and reduce pain and increase function in people with osteoarthritis, but the majority of these trials are small or poorly planned. There isn't any scientific evidence that Ayurveda can help with other health problems.
