Holistic Medicine | by Shriniwas J. Kashalikar
Besides the arbitrary divisions of medicine, fields other than medicine such as education, agriculture, horticulture, industries and environment have bearing on the well being of an individual and the mankind Hence the education, research and practice in these fields have also to be reoriented, coordinated and integrated so as to facilitate TOTAL STRESS MANAGEMENT. This book is an attempt to provide intellectual framework for pursuing this goal. I have called this framework "Holistic Medicine" so as to distinguish it from every possible arbitrary division, branch or system of medicine with sectarian approach.
