WEWELLCOM PATANJALI AYURVED's ACTION
The Brompton cocktail, sometimes called Brompton mixture and most popularly known as Brompton cough mixture, was originally developed at a hospital specializing in chest diseases. This cough mixture was a combination of opiates, alcohol, and chloroform, designed to suppress cough, reduce pain, and induce sleep. The secret ingredient was warm water, which was added to the concoction to induce bronchodilation and expectoration.
The days of such preparations in clinics, along with practices resembling Voodooism and witchcraft, were nearly wiped out in India by the 1960s. The Indian pharmaceutical industry excelled in manufacturing both allopathic and Ayurvedic preparations in factories adhering to GMP standards. Ayurveda, known for its herbal remedies in healthcare, remains prominent. Many chemical substances like codeine, morphine, and cannabinoids are extracted and processed from plants such as opium and cannabis (hashish).
In the early 1960s and 1970s, reputable companies like Himalaya and Charak Pharmaceuticals were already manufacturing Ayurvedic products. However, as commercialization and greed infiltrated the industry, medical ethics were often compromised to exploit the sick and hypochondriacs. Aggressive advertisements with tall claims became the norm, generating significant profits for companies, advertisers, and models. If such indiscreet business practices had the support of the ruling dispensation, official agencies would rarely intervene.
Fortunately, a high-profile case brought to court resulted in a judgment that aimed to protect the public from misleading practices. This judgment highlighted the importance of ethical marketing and regulation in the healthcare industry. more

One Man's Cough(expectorant) could be another man's dough expectorant. Usually people used to get a high with Codeine...during the early 80's...hostelites used to get Phensydyl...I used to call it Fancy Drill...one 100 ml bottle used to give stressful sleep...but then with every vice...addiction...the evil poison ivy...I don't know how many got habituated and how many chucked it but it was among the first batch of cough syrups with codeine which was banned. more

I have used some of the Patanjali and found these good. There seems to be some vested interests opposing Ayurveda. Allopathy, Ayurveda, Homeopathy etc. are well known Medicine systems. Allopathy is about 200 years old. Before that Ayurveda only was practiced in India. We have a large number of books available on this. Shushrut Samhita even mentions brain operations etc. Indian systems of education, business , health etc were destroyed by Britishers so that their industry in Britain may prosper. Unfortunately the pharmaceutical lobby is strong in Inia and they want to destroy Ayurveda. We have had lot of dirty games in the last few years. Any individual should be free to use any systems of medicine as per his choice. All systems have their plus and minus points. more

Welcome the SC decision. Himalaya is selling Ayurvedic products and advertising also, but ethically. Government, the ruling dispensation, is supporting Ramdev, and not doing the needed role of checking as per standards. Welcome the SC decision! more
