It is not the science of Ayurveda that is the problem. It is today's ayurvedic medical school-based education, in which students are not taught in depth about the four pillars of treatment known as the pāda-chatuṣ-ṭayā -- knowledge of the practitioner, the availability of the needed medicine, the ability of the assistant that helps the patient, and the willingness of the patient.
Thank you for writing this truth! I've been secretly witnessing this and feeling it in my short 3 years with Ayurveda studies. Don't get me wrong, I've experienced some amazing pure hearted Ayurveda teachers but sadly less than I'd like to see in this beautiful ancient healing system. I know the intention is or was there, but this greedy US modern society ruins it for so many. Change is happening though, let it be so and it will be.
