‘Illegal’: Centre on Ayurveda, Homeopathy drug ads claiming ‘miraculous’ effects

The Union Ayush ministry declared advertising Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani, and Homeopathy drugs with “miraculous or supernatural effects” illegal, highlighting the risk to public health from unverified claims. The ministry urged the public to consult registered practitioners before using these drugs and to report any misleading advertisements or false claims. Self-diagnosis and self-medication are strongly discouraged.
