Ayurveda is an ancient treatment from India which is 3000 years old, based on experience and observation.
Is Ayurveda good against modern diseases like tuberculosis, cancer etc?

1Like any other medicine, the effectiveness of any treatment will need to be studied per illness. You list two here. Even in those two, studies on cancer treatment will look a specific type of cancer (breast, lung, colon, etc). I do not think many things have been studied at all if there isn't a drug they are looking to use. There are studies where Ayurveda is lumped in with all alternative therapies, but that isn't very helpful.– threetimesAug 20 '17 at 19:42

Honestly, the only way we can see if Ayurveda works is through rigorous peer-reviewed research that involves statistical methodology (randomized control trials) and double-blind studies. The reason this is important to mention is because a lot of studies of alternative medicine are unable to be replicated by other researchers, which implies flaws in the study design.
