Becareful while using ayruveda medicines or supplements, as most have heavy metals, which are dangerous to your liver. Most of the medicines doesnt have RCT's, even though some have those are weak, sample size is very less and they dont go through proper scrutiny. This goes to all the supplements too. its appalling that govt is supporting them in the name of AYUSH ministry. So much tax money is wasted on promoting Ayurveda and Homeopathy. Ayurveda may have some kind of benefit that too very little, but homeopathy is absolute trash.

First things first. Homeo is largely based on potentization, which is greater dilution beyond the avagardo number would still result in anticipated restoration of health, without a pharmacological explanation. It's philosophically dynamic/energy restoration of health and vitality. It's unlikely to have heavy metals stuff. At maximum you can call it "placebo", which in itself is a powerful pehneomenon.

Ayurveda has it different though. Ayurveda lo heavy metals use has been around far too long time. Their understanding of health is also philosophically very different. Manufacturing practices are different and have scope for needles adulteration just as that of other practices.

RCTs need financial backing as well. No sponsors would come forward to sponsor trials, if they see no foreseen financial benefit from the trial itself. Regarding evidence, it exists but the weightage of it depends on your perspective as well. From the standing of practice, these schools of thought never prescribe a standard pill/drug for everyone impacted by same condition. So the interventions are fundamentally different. Also, these healing systems have been around far too long time. I don't see a need to replace these with only allopathy. They all can do exist together. With modern medicine, most of the time etiological causes are not addressed, except for those "diseases" where external pathogen is involved. For most of the time, it's management. Be it hypertension, diabetes, thyroid, or even cancer.

Even Chinese keep their alternative healing system of "traditional system" intact. Japanese do the same. Just doing the "authoritarian" weight of evidence as a substitute for "empirical" evidence is pretty Abrahamic approach. You don't need to ape it.
