It is a high-pressure sales trap. A "doctor" gives you a quick tour, then offers a "free" shoulder massage. Finally, they herd you into a closed pharmacy room and try to sell you generic creams (like aloe vera or hair removal cream) for exorbitant prices, sometimes 100 USD or more. The driver gets a massive commission. Firmly refuse to stop there.

We got stuck in one. The guilt trip to buy their "miracle cure for asthma" was exhausting.

If you want genuine Ayurvedic medicine, buy it from a government-registered Osu Sala pharmacy.

I told the driver no, and he was grumpy, but we saved ourselves 2 hours of hassle.
