Nayanthara’s controversial post!
Nayanthara, a famous Indian actress, published a post about the benefits of hibiscus tea on her social media. She said that drinking this tea might help with [[diabetes::A serious condition due to which there is too much sugar in the blood.]], heart issues, etc.
It can also make the skin look nice and help people stay healthy when seasons change (a time when people are more likely to fall sick).
She also said that hibiscus tea has long been used in [[Ayurveda::A type of traditional medicine that originated in India and helps treat illnesses using a combination of foods, herbs, breathing exercises, etc.]]. Some people liked her advice, but others, including a well-known doctor named Dr. Cyriac Abby Philips, known as the Liver Doc, didn’t.
The Liver Doc counters!
Dr. Cyriac Abby Philips says that Nayanthara’s information about hibiscus tea is incorrect. He said that there isn’t enough proof that the tea helps keep people healthy.
He warns that drinking too much hibiscus tea could be bad for people and thinks Ayurveda isn’t as helpful as some people say.
Doctors vs Ayurveda!
People have been talking for a long time about whether Ayurveda or modern medicine is better.
Some doctors think Ayurveda might not work because it’s not based on science, and there isn’t enough proof that it is helpful.
But many people really believe in Ayurveda! They think using natural plants and herbs can help you stay healthy.
It doesn’t matter whether or not you believe in Ayurveda. Always remember to consult a [[qualified::Someone who is trained enough to do something.]] doctor before taking any medicine, be it Ayurvedic or modern day medicine.
Quick Revision
Nayanthara said hibiscus tea is healthy and used in Ayurveda.
Dr. Cyriac Abby Philips said there is no strong proof and too much tea can be harmful.
People debate Ayurveda vs modern medicine.
Always ask a doctor before using any medicine or herbal drink.
