Abstract

The Indian subcontinent as a whole, including Bangladesh, has a rich tradition of medical systems such as Ayurveda and Unani. Although these practices thrived and flourished for centuries, they were suppressed during the colonial era and reduced to the status of folk medicine. Now, perhaps before it is too late, we must focus on rediscovering this valuable medical heritage. As knowledge systems that pioneered a holistic and personalized approach to healthcare, both Ayurveda and Unani have the potential to remain innovative, dynamic, and highly valued in the ongoing evolution of integrative medicine.
