- Acidity, acid reflux and gastritis: what Ayurveda offersCurcumin eased indigestion more than placebo in one small trial. We found no trial of Ayurveda for reflux disease or gastritis itself.
- Anxiety and sleep problems: what Ayurveda offersAshwagandha extracts improved sleep a little and lowered stress scores in short trials. They were not trials in diagnosed anxiety disorder.
- Hair loss and hair fall: what Ayurveda offersOne industry-sponsored trial found an ashwagandha scalp serum added a few hairs over 75 days. We found no trial of Ayurvedic hair oils.
- IBS (irritable bowel syndrome): what Ayurveda offersThe one placebo-controlled trial of an Ayurvedic herbal mix in IBS found no benefit. A whole-system programme beat a single powder in another.
- Migraine: what Ayurveda offersOne small trial found a curcumin supplement eased migraine attacks over eight weeks. We found no trial of a classical Ayurvedic treatment.
- Osteoarthritis and knee pain: what Ayurveda offersOne boswellia extract and two Indian formulations eased knee pain in trials. The evidence is uneven, and one trial found raised liver enzymes.
- PCOS and PCOD: what Ayurveda offersCurcumin improved blood sugar markers, and periods a little, in small trials. Most Ayurveda studies of PCOS are single case reports.
- Psoriasis and eczema: what Ayurveda offersThe evidence is thin. Curcumin has some trial support in psoriasis, we found no eczema trial, and one Ayurvedic psoriasis medicine contains arsenic.
- Type 2 diabetes (sugar): what Ayurveda offersSome herbs, such as methi and karela, lowered HbA1c a little in trials. Taken with diabetes medicines, they can add to the risk of low sugar.
- Underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism): what Ayurveda offersOne small trial found ashwagandha improved mildly raised TSH. No trial we found tested Ayurveda in place of levothyroxine. Do not stop it.
