That’s obvious, because ayurvedic medicine is based on rasashastra – Indian alchemical system, opus minor, medicines made from herbs and metals. Rasa means mercury.
Alchemical base metals are mercury, lead and arsenic...

Maybe you should try to feed your daughter by blood types diet. Those last two years I found the best cure for everything is eating for my blood type plus eating raw vegetables and fruits.
Homeopathy is ok, but it can give better results if you correct your daughter’s eating habits.
