There are cures in the Ayurvedic literature for age-related diseases such as memory loss, osteoporosis and wounds caused by diabetes, and so on. There is an effective drug available in modern medicine, while Ayurveda has a good literature track record, the irony is that it has a very low share (0.5%) in the global pharmaceutical market.
