Abstract:
The Andhra Pradesh Health Minister recently announced [1] that Ayurveda postgraduates trained in surgical studies would be allowed by the state government to practise 58 surgical procedures independently. But what exactly does the term “independently” refer to, and why do accusations of “mixopathy” arise so frequently against Ayurveda practitioners?
