Opinions regarding Ayurveda

Question

Hey guys, I’m not from a medical background so sorry if this is a basic question, but I’ve always wondered about this. I’ve noticed that a lot of med students and doctors online seem to really dislike or dismiss Ayurveda, and I’m trying to understand why.

Like, is it because of the way it’s taught? Lack of scientific evidence? Or is there some kind of long-standing friction between Ayurveda students and modern medicine students that outsiders don’t really know about?

I’m honestly not here to argue or defend anything, I just want to know your perspective because from the outside, all of this looks like one big field called “medicine” but clearly there’s more going on.

Would love if someone could explain the main reasons behind this dislike or disagreement in a simple way. Thanks!
