Travails of Traditional Medicine

 
Subrata Pahari (Author)
Synopsis

This book attempts to analyze the different aspects of Indian traditional systems of medicine. Tracing the origin and development of traditional medicine—ayurveda, yoga, siddha, tantric and folk medicine—to get a glimpse of the age, antiquity and legacy of these systems, it examines the history of the advent and spread of allopathy and homeopathy in India.

It further discusses at length the theory and practice as well as the popularity of these traditional systems of medicine. A discussion on the controversy and debate between the adherents of Ayurveda and Allopathy as well as the Swadeshi efforts for the survival and revival of Indian traditional systems of medicine also make part of the book.
