Globally there are several widely accepted alternative course for health care like Ayurveda, homeopathy, Unani, Sidda, and each of these have universities teaching them and factories manufacturing medicines on these lines. Some of them include surgery as well. They do have a large following and are proven effective. Several hospitals and established doctors practice across India at least as I know, and these have following worldwide.
- Are any of the established regulations that we discuss here in the forums have direct control and application to these ?
- Are there any other international / national regulations more specific for these ?
- Are there any other widely followed stream of health care apart from the few I said above.....
