To make the article unbiased and to provide a fair comparative context, please add the following to the end of the last paragraph of the lead of this article.

Edit note: with condensed and rephrased text from adverse effect.

Comparatively, the modern Western medicine also causes adverse side effects and complications, causing at least 142,000 deaths globally in 2013, resulting in numerous lawsuits against western drug manufacturers. 119.74.238.54 (talk) 13:54, 25 November 2023 (UTC)


 * ❌ - we shouldn't be suggesting equivalency between modern medicine, which while not perfect is highly effective, and pseudoscience like Ayurveda. BilledMammal (talk) 14:08, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

 * I'm not generally opposed to the edit, but I am unconvinced by the sources neither of which - the former due to age, the latter due to content - appear to be overly reliable. BilledMammal (talk) 14:07, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

Unnecessary descriptor
>Through well-understood processes of modernization and globalization, ayurveda has been adapted for Western consumption

Are these processes really "well-understood"? I see the source referenced has essays on the development of international brands of the subject but the wording makes it sound like the results of Eastern and Western cultural mingling are easily predictable. Anyone interested in striking that descriptor? I feel like quite the pedant here, but it hits a tone that annoys me. 2600:1015:B12A:24C7:3852:9FB8:5D5C:F4A1 (talk) 20:25, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * ✅. I agree. It sounded pretty bad, given that the next sentence calls out fraud. Not pedantic at all, thanks. --Tryptofish (talk) 20:33, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
