Can you get a Vijaya prescription without leaving your bed?

Good news for everyone who treats "going to the doctor" as a half-day expedition with two autos and one argument about parking: you can consult a registered Ayurvedic practitioner online, from home, legally.

Wait, is that actually allowed?

Yes. In April 2020 the Central Council of Indian Medicine released Telemedicine Practice Guidelines for Ayurveda, Siddha and Unani practitioners. In simple words, a registered Ayurvedic doctor can consult you over video, audio or even text, the same way they would across a desk. Same rules, same ethics, fewer plastic chairs.

What a proper online consult looks like

The doctor asks who you are, and you ask who they are. A real practitioner shares their registration number, and it should also appear on your prescription. They ask about your health, other medicines you take, and whether you have tried anything like this before. If something needs an in-person check, a good doctor will tell you so instead of guessing over WhatsApp.

What your prescription should have

Your name, the date, the practitioner's name and registration number, the product and the strength, and how to take it. If your "prescription" is a forwarded sticker that says "trust me bro", that is not a prescription.
