Traditional Medicine Gains Ground in Modern Healthcare

Traditional Medicine Gains Ground in Modern Healthcare
Traditional medicine is seeing renewed relevance as people seek holistic and accessible healthcare options. Systems like Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani, and Traditional Chinese Medicine are increasingly recognized for treating chronic illnesses and promoting preventive care.
Governments and health bodies, including the WHO, have begun integrating traditional practices into mainstream health policies. In India, the AYUSH Ministry supports research and standardization of traditional systems to ensure safety and efficacy.
With rising lifestyle-related disorders, many patients turn to natural remedies and therapies that focus on the root cause, not just symptoms. Herbal medicines, yoga, and dietary practices are gaining global traction.
However, experts stress the need for scientific validation, regulation, and practitioner training to avoid misuse and ensure quality care.
The growing interest in traditional medicine reflects a shift toward personalized, sustainable, and culturally rooted health solutions, complementing—not replacing—modern medicine.
