This book examines various aspects of ethnomedicine and tribal
healing practices, including its importance for inclusion and
integration from a health systems perspective. Tribal healing
practices is an under-studied component in healthcare system,
health policy and health systems research. The book consists of
original research papers based on empirical studies done by
anthropologists, sociologists, public health practitioners and
research scientists in various parts of India. It discusses issues
of non-codified folk healing, with a focus on the therapeutic ideas
and practices of tribal communities, located in anthropological
theory and methods. It has a balance of empirical papers, review
and theoretical papers, not only explaining 'what is inside the
healing practices' but also touching upon the question of 'why' and
delving into 'what should be' looking into the possibility to apply
it for a larger good i.e., health care for all. This book discusses
several important issues related to legitimacy, evidence and
efficacy, recognition, certification and integration, protection
and preservation, bio-piracy and bioprospecting, benefit sharing
and intellectual property rights, sustainable use of medicinal
herbs and conservation of nature and natural resources,
biodiversity and possibilities of mainstreaming tribal healing. It
is of interest to students and researchers from medical
anthropology, medical sociology, cultural geography, liberal
studies, tribal studies, ecology, sustainability and development
and public health.
