India is a Country where several traditional systems of health
care have been in use for centuries. Even today these systems
form a living and continuing tradition. Of these, Ayurveda
is the most ancient medical system with extensive documentation
and an impressive record of safety and efficacy. Similarly,
Yoga and Naturopathy have been practised in this country by
young and old alike, to promote good health. The Indian Cultural
heritage is also enriched by the presence of the Siddha system
of health care that originated in Greece and developed in
Arabia and Iran has had a long and cherished history in this
country and still forms an inseparable part of Indian medicine.
An integral feature of all the Indian Systems of Medicine
is that they take a holistic view of human health. They consider
a human being in totality keeping in view his subtle relationship
with the environment. These systems provide an excellent line
of low cost treatment for various common disorders and several
chronic ailments. They aim at not only curing the disease
but also enabling the body to fight the disease while promoting
positive health. 90% of the ingredients used in Ayurvedic,
Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathic medicine are plant based.
Ayurvedic, Siddha, Unani Medicine, Yoga, Naturopathy and
Homoeopathy are nationally recognized Systems of Medicine
and have been integrated into the National health delivery
system. India enjoys the distinction of having the largest
number of traditional health care systems all of which are
fully functional with a vast network of registered practitioners,
research institutions and licenced pharmacies.
It is hoped that this small publication would help the reader
to get a broad idea of the basic philosophy, concepts, diagnostic
and therapeutic approach of these systems and the vast infrastructure
available for education, research and production of drugs.
