Yes. Ayurveda does treat every individual differently and does customized medicine on case-by-case basis after observing the patient carefully asking questions that provide root cause and then make a medicine that only works for that individual for that issue alone. No side effects. Modern medicine treats every one equal and prints a list of side effects on drugs as if they are nothing. But it is the body's way of saying it is not happy with whatever external chemical he has taken is not for that body! Finally it's a good step which modern medicine is ignoring for ages even after advised by a few before.

Ayurveda hasn't been shown to work better than placebo as far as I know.

  Then you don't know anything about true ayurveda. Have you ever met someone practicing ayurveda for anything and got treated? I got cured for 2 things, one of which has no known medicine (only repeated surgery for life) and it never got back in past 18 years.

    I don't know very much about medicine either, but it's easy to find double blind studies that show efficacy for all kinds of medical procedures. Is there anything similar for Ayurveda?

      That's not how it works. Ayurveda is not a medical pharmacy. It's a way of treating individuals. Like I said earlier, each case is different. There are no common medicines other than a few (6 or 7), which are known to work for any body type. For anything that doesn't get cured through them needs customized medicine. I am no expert either. But there are no lobbyist pharmas backing studies on Ayurveda medicine as they are like open source, free. Since you asked I know one, KSM-66, if you know anyone with depression/insomnia/high heart rate etc. they can try it. That's one of the common one of the 6 or 7 I mentioned above.

        Of course you could study it. Give 50% of the participants individualized Arurdvedic medicine and 50% the standard medicine. Give both groups the consultation Adudveric style as a control measure. See if there is a statistically significant difference in results, then you have an answer. (Your starting point will be people with the same problems/symptoms). Or am I missing something? (Your answer comes across as implying "no one is the same we can't possibly disprove / prove this stuff")

        "(Your starting point will be people with the same problems/symptoms). Or am I missing something?" I don't know much about Ayurveda, but the general idea is, that there are no people with the exact same problems/symptoms. Which is not, how far I would take it, so you have to do generalisations, but maybe much finer grained.
