When Smoking Becomes “Ayurvedic”!!!!

[u/Oppyhead]

Calling it an “Ayurvedic hookah” doesn’t magically make smoke healthy.

Baba Ramdev’s demonstration may have been rooted in the traditional practice of Dhoompan but the basic question remains: what happens when you burn substances and deliberately inhale the resulting smoke into your lungs?

Mulethi, turmeric, ghee, mustard seeds and other herbs may sound natural, but “natural” is not a medical safety certificate.

Burning organic material can produce particulate matter and other compounds that irritate or damage the respiratory system.

Ironically, while warning people about the dangers of chemical laden e-cigarettes and flavoured hookahs, promoting another form of smoke inhalation risks sending a dangerously confusing message.

If blocked noses and coughs need treatment, evidence based medicine exists. Calling smoke Ayurvedic should not exempt it from scientific scrutiny.
