Asian Medicine - Tradition and Modernity is a multidisciplinary journ

[Guest guest]

aimed at researchers and practitioners of Asian medicine in Asia as

well as

in Western countries. It makes available in one single publication

academic

essays that explore the historical, anthropological, sociological and

philological dimensions of Asian medicine as well as practice

reports from

clinicians based in Asia and in Western countries.

With the recent upsurge of interest in non-Western alternative

approaches to

health care, Asian Medicine - Tradition and Modernity will be of

relevance

to those studying the modifications and adaptations of traditional

medical

systems on their journey to non-Asian settings. It will also be

relevant to

those who wish to learn more about the traditional background and

practice

of Asian medicine within its countries of origin. On account of its

appeal

to scholars from a range of academic backgrounds (such as history,

anthropology, philology, sociology, archaeology) as well as to

practitioners

based in Asia and in Western medical institutions and alternative

health

care settings, the journal constitutes a unique resource for both

scholarly

and clinically focused institutions.
