Opis

The Indian Systems of Medicine (ISM)-Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani, Yoga, Naturopathy, and Homeopathy-represent an unbroken continuum of healthcare traditions that have stood the test of time. From their ancient philosophical roots in the Vedas, Greek-Arabic, and Tamil traditions, to their modern role in global health diplomacy, ISM has evolved as a living, dynamic healthcare system. Throughout this book, we have explored the philosophical foundations, pharmacological insights, therapeutic practices, research validation, government policies, and global expansion of ISM. What emerges is a clear narrative:- ISM offers holistic and preventive solutions for chronic and lifestyle diseases.- Scientific validation through clinical trials and molecular research is steadily strengthening its credibility.- Integration with biomedicine ensures that patients can benefit from the best of both worlds.- Government initiatives, WHO collaborations, and the International Day of Yoga have catapulted ISM onto the global stage.
