MODERN TRENDS
During the last few decades, the allopathic system of medicine had made a great impact on the minds of the people. Relatively, the importance of the indigenous systems of medicine dwindled considerably. Due to the intrinsic value of the indigenous systems of medicine, efforts are now made at Government level to revive them. Now-a-days, most of the practitioners in indigenous systems of medicine combine allopathy with the one followed by them. With the great strides made in the field of preventive inoculations and injections, the diseases like plague which once made life of the people miserable have been compterely eradicated. With the progress made in obstetrics and gynaecology and due to the loss of faith in superstitious beliefs consequent upon the spread of education, people have come to place more reliance upon medical care and cure.
