Guest guest Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Your information is correct. The experience of traditional vaidyas cant be summarised just by a quantifier " some " . While knowingly or unknowingly todays ObGyn steers a pregnancy to C- section in most cases, the exceptional skills of a tribal vaidya without any formal qualification stands in sharp contrast. Visit India and see how birts are handled by tribal vaidyas. FRLHT is trying to encourage the growth of Indias heritage in such skills. Smt. Mastammma, a tribal woman from Hebbalahadi village, Hunsoor taluk, Mysore District, was awarded the Paramparika Vaidya Rathna award for the year 2004-05. Mastammma has handled more than 2000 deliveries, including many complicated cases like breach delivery and entanglement of umbilical cord, in the tribal areas of Hunsur Taluk. She also treats uterine prolapse, all menstrual problems, infertility, jaundice and many paediatric conditions. The association(s) of traditional vaidyas in India are trying to revive all traditional medical arts, where experience and " in-born " skills count. Please visit: http://frlht.org/natti.htm Dr Bhate _______________ I believe there is a centre in or near Bangalore website FRLHT that has some experience with this.
