The Government Ayurveda Medical Officers' Association (GAMOA) today claimed that there is a shortage of the supply of at least 130 essential ingredients used for manufacturing ayurvedic medicines.
GAMOA President Dr. P.Hewagamage told the Daily Mirror that, the said number of ingrediats used to import as they not available in our country. Most of the ingredients are imported from countries such as China and India.
"The difficulties faced by the suppliers prevented them from importing the ingredients. This could cause a serious issue for the Ayurvedic medicine manufacturing in the future," he said.
Information reached us say that the physicians could not complete the Ayurvedic prescription without the essential ingredients, Dr. Hewagamage said.
Therefore, the GAMOA requested the President to take immediate action to grant concessions for suppliers to import the essential ingredients so that we could continue our service. (Chaturanga Pradeep Samarawickrama)

Ayurvedic medicine is pseudoscience.

In Sri Lanka and in rest of Asia our greatest days were in the past and not in the present. Present belongs to the white man and the past belong to us. Who was looking after our health in those “ golden centuries” of the past ?

Good. We have to save precious little forex for real medicine, without wasting it on this romanticized mumbo jumbo.

I thought the ingredients for ayurveda drugs were produced locally. Historically were they imported from China or have we become too lazy to grow them and found it easier to order on line from Amazon or Alibaba?
