Alternative Medicine- Introduction, Disciplines, Career Scopes, Admission process and Course fees

INTRODUCTION

Medical treatment of our body is done in two forms- Modern Medicine & Traditional Medicine (or Alternative Medicine). Both of them have their own importance.

In 1985, Central Council for Indian Medicine (CCIM- governing body of traditional medicines) introduced a new syllabus, which also included syllabus of Modern Medicine.
