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.

Medical research often involves experiments, and these may include psychological experiments into human behavior, which have attracted filmmakers. A number of atrocities have been depicted in films, and they importantly record horrific episodes in the history of medicine. Filmmakers have been drawn toward medicine’s failures and foibles including chilling “extreme measures” in the medical tradition and even modern medicine. The medical discoveries and stories of overcoming disease seem to be less interesting to filmmakers; narratives of sham “treatment,” professional abuse of power, and wickedness work better.

The world is facing one of the biggest public health tragedies of our time, both in terms of socio-economic loss and death tolls due to the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic. In a frantic race to find treatment for COVID-19, many interventions to discover drugs and vaccines are being expedited. Similarly, traditional herbal medicines are also being explored to find a cure for COVID-19. There are many traditional medicines that have exhibited promising antiviral and immuno-modulating properties against a plethora of infectious diseases like influenza, malaria, tuberculosis, and even COVID-19. Traditional medicine is an integral part of culture and practices in many countries with a vast and rich history of treating diseases. However, scientific research-based drug development approaches and effective regulatory mechanisms, on par with modern medicine, should be implemented to ensure safety, efficacy and overall validity of traditional medicine. Incorporating evidence-based traditional medicines in modern drug development paradigms can help assure affordability, accessibility and acceptability of the treatment approach. Furthermore, it can create pharmacological synergism to tackle drug resistance. Altogether, every country should create a roadmap for modernization and revival of traditional knowledge to improve the health care system and be better prepared for health crises.
