Research

 Can research in alternative medicine reduce the mortality and morbidity rate and if so how do we increase its effectiveness?

Research paper and medical writing in general feel incredibly important because it's clear that language is going to be a terrain where a substantial part of fight is going to be about: what do you call this particular medicinal plant, can people use it, how much should they use it, does it cause toxic side effects. I think what AYUSH doctors can do or can try do is to use medical language with precision and care. We need our ancient systems to be more affluent in what they are ready to give. Now it depends on them if they want it to be vague words of wisdom or precise scientific reasoning.

I am in my twenties and when I go to my hospital I feel this is what I lack as a doctor.

It's not like I can't explain my treatment to my patients. It's just that sometimes I am not able to make my patients believe in my system of medicine.I'm interested to know more but there aren't many research opportunities here and hence

I'm left by myself.

All of the treatments I see everyday sometimes lack an effective reasoning but deep down I know there is science behind it because I see the benefits in my patients.

The thing that struck me is how individual the treatment is, no two patient getting the same set of treatments daily.

I see it this way: which side of treatment the patient thinks is best, or which is useless says something about their disease. Modern medicine won't believe it, if I said there is a thing called individual HTN and there are multiple ways of treating HTN. This is why I wanted to write about it. I'm so conscious of the fact that when I get any kind of treatment, my own desires, beliefs as a patient change are radically altering my healing rate.
