History of medicine is very fascinating. We can find many traditional systems of medicine developed in different regions and served humans for many centuries before the development of modern medicine. The system developed in India is known as Ayurveda and system developed in Japan is known as Kampo. We can find many similarities in the basic concepts between these systems. Apart from use of internal medicines both the systems have used sharp instruments, Fire etc in the management. Treatment like excision, Incision etc using different sharp instruments comes under a separate branch as Shalya tantra in Ayurveda but there is no independent branch for surgery in Kampo system. We can find many similarities in surgical concepts between these two systems. By adopting and combining these concepts we can develop a universal system for alternative medicine.

Knowledge And Practice

This chapter looks at cannabis products and their history in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In part this story is about the entry of preparations of the plant into Western medical knowledge and practice. However, the chapter also demonstrates that cannabis was not simply constructed as a medicine in Western circles in this period. The ways in which competing understandings emerged of the plant and the substances that could be manufactured from it is also explored. The purpose of doing this is twofold. In the first instance the chapter begins to provide some answers to the question of ‘what is medical about colonial medicine’. In addressing this question the chapter also addresses a second concern, which is to put plants back into the picture of the history of medicine in the colonial period.
