Many godmen from India are using and quoting the old Indian books to substantiate their claims. Indian books do contain some ancient wisdom as existed in those days. The fact that godmen are misusing them, should be a bad mark on them. Similarly, Ayurveda is an old system of Indian medicine. Ayurveda should be treated on its own - without any reference. One can add that a lot of modern gurus and TV yogis are using and misusing it. Ayurvedic medicines do work for several diseases. It is because of the power of herbs, nothing holy about it. You can't use it for quick remedy. But long-term effects are proven.
The material and herbs used for various diseases are medically correct. For example pepper and clove mixture is indeed good for cough. No magic about it. Ginger water is good for stomach. No magic here. Simple medical value. There are some modern medicines which have its origin in Ayurveda. One of them is SERPASIL which comes from the root of Rauwolfia Serpentina known as "sarpgandha" in Sanskrit. Used for high blood pressure here we have a medicine originating in Ayurveda and today mass produced by big firms. Of course in recent years so many pseudo gurus have misused Ayurveda to make money.
