It's nothing new as it is an age old debate which has still not reached any clear result or the believers of these two systems of medicine are not bold enough to bring out the actual result. 

Not only in India also across the world like our ayurveda conventional methods are still in use. But what is necessary is the exact curative percentage and effect of medicines involved in the treatment. 

The thing which stands as a hindrance here is courage to shout out against the ancient system of medical practice. If you do then you will be in the bad books of the believers of those system. 

Ayurveda has its own benefits like it has less side effects as natural herbs are used to treat illness. But still the efficacy is what important in this era of modern world.In ayurveda you have to wait for a long period to know the result of medicines.And you have to carry your Ayurveda medicine wherever you go as you can't get it from general pharmacy shops.Also ayurveda is still the same how it was ages ago;new advancements and new technology are  far away.The best example is the corona outbreak when conventional medicines helped only as a temporary booster. 

When it comes to allopathy it has the advantage of fast recovery and advanced treatment and surgery technology.Also the availability of medicines are handy. But even here the common complaints that have been raised are side effects of drugs, money minded hospitals, unwanted diagnostic procedures, etc.But 2020 pandemic completely depended on Allopathy for preventive, diagnostic and treatment for diseases. 

The type of medicine also depends on the mode of problem for instance if a patient has problems regarding hair fall, skin tone, body weight, etc it is preferable to undergo Ayurveda treatment as in allopathy high dose drugs and steroid capsules are prescribed in the above cases which inturn results in lifelong side effects. And if you have other life threats or major problems allopathy is the only source of relief. 

It is true thay every system of medicine has its own taste and theory to it's way of practicing. But which wins the patient's trust is important.In that way Ayurveda though safe not advanced enough to treat new diseases on the other hand Allopathy is what comes as a life saver in pandemic situations.
