Swami Ramdev says that while allopathic system of medicine is symptomatic, the ayurvedic system of medicine is systemic. Ayurved Medicines work on the physiological systems like
Nervous System
Digestive System
Endocrine System etc
and strenghten them

What is the unique contribution of Baba Ramdev?
Baba Ramdev has taken the Pranayam Techniques from the himalayan caves to the masses.
Those who do
Bhastrika Pranayam for 10 minutes
Kapalbhati Pranayam for 20 minutes
Anulom Vilom Pranayam for 20 minutes
Bhramari Pranayam for 2 minutes
Udageetha Pranayam for 2 minutes
may not even have any need to take the medicines.

So pranayam is like a deep acting anti-miasmatic remedy that we have in homeopathy. But as two patients will do pranayam with different levels of sincerity there will also be a differential in what they gain.
