J R Coll Physicians Edinb. 2024 Sep;54(3):270-271. doi: 10.1177/14782715241273738. Epub 2024 Aug 22.

Abstract

The editorial highlights the fact that there is limited communication between healthcare providers and patients about complementary and integrative medicine (TCI) like Ayurveda. To address this, healthcare professionals need better education on Ayurveda. Additionally, international collaborations can enhance research and credible information, ensuring safe and effective patient care.

Keywords: Ayurveda; chronic diseases; complementary and integrative medicine (TCI); medical pluralism; patient-centred care; traditional.
