In Naturopathy in South India - Clinics between Professionalization
and Empowerment, Eva Jansen offers a rich ethnographic account of
current naturopathic thinking and practices, and examines its
complex history, multiple interpretations, and antagonisms. This
book presents two major forms of Naturopathy in contemporary South
India: On one side, a scientific, professional branch models
themselves after allopathic practitioners. On the other side, a
group of ideologists uses an approach to patient treatment that is
grounded in the principles of simplicity, transparency, a critique
of globalization, and a focus on patient empowerment. Jansen
discusses the current political and medical clash between
Naturopaths in South India from the perspectives of practitioners,
employees, the media and patients.
