A patient who developed severe herbal liver injury after consuming a host of Ayurvedic products asked me side-effects of medications that I prescribed to help her reverse her herbal-liver injury. I calmly and in detail, described all the effects and side effects (and more benefits than risks) of medications I prescribed to help her reduce the side effects of herbal medicines she blindly took without questioning the Ayurveda practitioner. Sometimes I feel like Grand Master Oogway. No rage. No hate. Total inner peace.
@theliverdr So allopathic medication don’t have any effect on liver? and how it’s reversed using another allopathic method? Just a query
@theliverdr When she asked that question, I was wondering did you laughed outside or inside ? I would honestly asked the patient if she had the same question for Ayurvedic doctor, before answering her .

Don't know why people believe so much on ayurvedic medicines. Most of the times the patients start taking them without being advised by a qualified practitioner. People have a perception that ayurvedic medicines have zero side effects and only benefits. This narrative has to be changed.
