Alternative Medicine : India’s Role
Alternative Medicine deals with health care and health procedures that are based on techniques that do not involve any chemicals but are natural in origin. These treatments are traditional and are not used in standard Western medicine or taught in medical schools. The medicines are natural, derived from herbs and plants as in Naturopathy, Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCM), Herbal Medicines and others.
Alternative Medicine contains a vast storehouse of spiritual therapies, practical hands on techniques and physical exercises which are used singularly or along with therapies to treat ailments, diagnose them and even to prevent illnesses. These treatments are committed to the well being of human health. It is becoming increasingly obvious that health care should be holistic in nature. Illness comes from a lack of balance, so it is imperative that there should be an equilibrium between the environment and the mind and body of the human being. Alternative Medicine is committed to promoting health rather than curing disease. To this end, the traditional healing methods of Asia, particularly India and China are finding global acceptance. There is a growing market for natural treatments and drugs in the US and European countries as more and more people are turning their backs to conventional medicine and trying to go back to a more natural “earth based” lifestyle. A recent research conducted showed that yoga and nature cure are thriving in the US as is evidenced by the industry created around such practices, yoga mats, props, dvds etc. Scented candles, meditation music, eye pillows and incense sticks are also gaining popularity. This shows the growing popularity of traditional school of thought and of course Alternative Medicine.
