Abstract

The term indigenous means native to soil, that which has emerged or is produced or manufactured locally and which is unique to a place/region/society/culture etc indigenous plants and indigenous technology are two most common usages we come across very frequently. In the recent past indigenous methods of treatment and healing are also becoming more popular. To understand the indigenous approach and models of health and wellbeing prevalent in India, we have to understand the world view in which they have been developed by contrasting it with the world view governing western cultures and modern science.
