About the Book
This volume brings together a collection of essays by historians, botanists, and physicians, both indigenous and Western, to explore the evolution of Indian medicine. It sheds light on how Indian medical practices constantly adapted to the challenges posed by Western medical science.
The book examines significant developments such as the patronage of medicine and public health under Jahangir, the efficacy of Ayurveda in combating epidemics and fatal diseases, and the introduction of vaccination in colonial Bengal, along with the social resistance to it. Additionally, it highlights the rich heritage of folk and tribal medicine among the tribals of Birbhum, the use of traditional herbs now patented for treating diseases like jaundice, and the organized documentation of ethno-botanical medicine in India.
This work offers an invaluable resource for those interested in the history of Indian medicine, its interaction with Western practices, and the continued significance of traditional healing systems.
