It is increasingly felt that IM would complement modern medicine by providing cost effective treatment. IM combines the latest scientific advances with profound insight on ancient healing systems. Complementary and alternative systems of medicine (CAM) are playing vital role in public health by the virtue of their acceptance by people with or without government backing. However, experts are divided on its utility to meet the global challenge of providing affordable and quality health care. Institute of Applied Dermatology (IAD) in Kasaragod has highlighted the benefits of IM and CAM to the public health program particularly to manage large number of common diseases affecting rural populations such as Lymphatic Filarisais. The benefits for other diseases such as Hemiplegia, Vitiligo and Lichen planus have since been published. ‘Oslerian wisdom’ would balance India’s advances in medical science and effective care for the suffering poor in Indian villages. Partnership and collaborations with traditional Indian systems of medicine (ISM) would bring this much needed change in public health. An IM, the outcome of such collaborations, is best suited for treating complex and chronic diseases that are influenced by the environment. With increasing healthcare costs globally, IM is especially favourable because of the often inexpensive nature of its treatment protocols.
