Traditional medicine (TM): It is the sum total of the knowledge, skill, and practices based on the theories, beliefs, and experiences indigenous to different cultures, whether explicable or not, used in the maintenance of health as well as in the prevention, diagnosis, improvement or treatment of physical and mental illness .
Need of incorporation of elements of AYUSH into MBBS course AYUSH system of medicine is an integral part of our health care system which have existed for hundreds of years. Despite the existence and recognition ,there is a lack of awareness about it among practitioners of modern medicine.
Knowledge about other medical systems will enable doctors to offer more treatment options to the patient. The most cost effective therapy for a particular condition needs to be offered to the patient which may be in another system of medicine. Patients use these systems of medicine often along with Modern Medicines which may have favorable or unfavorable interactions, and we need to know this. Promote holistic wellbeing and make experts from both the systems of medicine open to the idea of working in tandem.

To sensitize them about drug interaction, contraindications, adverse-effects and precautions in use of different modalities of AYUSH treatments.
