Dr. S. K. Agarwal 2000 “Winds of change are now softly blowing in the fields of natural medicines. This re-birth of the medicines of the past will help to humanize the scientific medicine to tomorrow and structure a new futuristic, integrated medicine for the 21st century.” First of all, I would like to thank you for showing the interests in the alternative medical therapies, which is becoming more and more popular through out the world. Natural and traditional medicines respond directly to the Third World’s need for psychosocial health and physical well being. It is also congruent to man’s intense desire for spiritual and aesthetic fulfillment. For an oriental, traditional medicines represents the sum total of measures, ingredients, customs and creative procedure of several forms both material and spiritual which, since prehistoric times, have enabled him to remain healthy by protecting himself against disease, alleviating human suffering and curing disorders. The majority of orientals regard life as a total synthesis of body, mind and spirit and, in accordance with this firm conviction, they consider positive health as the blending of physical, mental, social, moral and spiritual well-being. Natural healers are, therefore, part of the natural heritage of the health care system. Since the practitioners of traditional medicine are already well-patronised and respected by members of the communities which they serve, the adoption of natural medicine in the grand design in the strategy of implementation of national health care programmes makes pragmatic sense. The “bare foot doctors” is a successful example of this strategy. During the World Health Organization’s Alma-Ata meeting in USSR in 1962, the first step was taken to recognize Alternative Medicines by forming the Medicina Alternativa Institute. In 1977, the 30th World Health Organization (WHO) Assembly adopted a historic resolution urging interested governments to give “adequate importance to the utilization of their traditional systems of medicine with appropriate regulations to suit their national health needs. “ Both developing and developed countries have, thereafter, displayed greater interest and awareness in using traditional and indigenous health care resources in the implementation of their national health programmes. Immediately following the 1977 WHO resolution, a worldwide promotional effort for traditional and natural medicines was launched. The success of this promotion may be measured by the growing interest in these disciplines among many successful practitioners. There is a growing volume of articles and research papers on related themes appearing in scientific journals and lay publications; consequently, many scientific institutes and agencies are seeking to collaborate in research and training in traditional medicines. Thus the traditional medicine program today is at historical crossroads. It has generated international awareness of the richness and importance of the subject, a development which represents the rebirth of the medicine of the past and one which may help to humanize the medicine of tomorrow. A few decades ago, it was generally assumed by the scientific community that medicinal plants, homoeopathic doses, acupuncture needles, magnets, yoga etc. could be safely relegated to no more than a footnote of medical history. But this assumption has, indeed, turned out to be a very premature one. During the past two decades, the upsurge of herbalogy, homoeopathy, acupuncture, yoga etc. in every country, has been phenomenal. Manipulative medicines are being taken seriously note of, the world over, particularly in locomotor disorders. The complementary medicines are here to stay and need to be integrated with integrated with allopathic medicines, sooner rather than later. The Indian Institute of Alternative Medicines has been founded for the purpose of teaching the various alternative therapies. The institution imparts teaching through the class-room and correspondence system of imparting education. We trust as a result of your enquiry, you will decide to enroll with us, and join the ever-growing roll of students. If you have any questions, please feel free to write to us. Date
