INTRODUCTION
India is a land of great ecological, cultural, political and economic
diversity. Its healthcare system reflects this diversity, both in its plural
systems of health knowledge and practice and in its range of
healthcare that begins from a host of basic home remedies and
culminates in the most recently developed technologies of modern
tertiary care through a vast array of hospitals.
Modern day stressful lifestyles have lead to a rise in lifestyle diseases
all over the world. It has been realized that no single system of
medicine can address the health care needs of modern society.
11/13/16

Modern science is well placed to provide answers to increasing

lifestyle related disorders, which are particularly amenable to the
holistic healing systems of Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy, Unani,
Siddha and Homeopathy (AYUSH).
AYUSH is synonymous with:
o ISM&H ( Indian systems of medicine and Homeopathy)
o Allied sciences
o Traditional health care
o Indigenous system of medicine
o Alternative medicine

principles are even older than Hippocrates.

healing and uses medicine made from natural
substances: animal, vegetable, and mineral.

physician, Samuel Hahnemann.

11/13/16

The Principles behind Homeopathic

Medicine
The Law of Similars - States that a remedy can cure a disease if it
produces in a healthy person symptoms similar to those of the disease.
The Law of Proving - This principle refers to the method of testing a
substance to determine its medicinal effect.
The Law of Potentization - This refers to the preparation of a homeopathic
remedy. These medications are prepared by successive diluting and shaking
to the point where the resulting medicine contains no molecules of the
original substance. These small doses are called potencies. As strange as it
may seem, the higher the dilution, the greater the potency of the medicine.

Traditional Knowledge Digital Library (TKDL)

Documentation of this existing knowledge, available in public domain, on various
traditional systems of medicine has become imperative to safeguard the
sovereignty of this traditional knowledge and to protect them from being misused
in patenting on non-patentable inventions, and this has been a matter of national
concern.
India fought successfully revocation of turmeric and Basmati patents granted by
United States Patent and Trademark Office (US PTO) and Neem patent granted
by European Patent Office (EPO). As' a sequel to this, in 1999, the Department of
Department of Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy
(A YUSH) constituted an inter-disciplinary Task Force, for preparing a report on
establishing a Traditional Knowledge Digital Library (TKDL).
