Description
Sri Lanka represents one of those increasingly rare instances in which a system of traditional medicine has managed to survive despite its stepmother status, first under colonial rule, then under national governments. Even now, without much assistance from the government, the indigenous system of medicine endures, serving about 50 percent of the health care needs of the Sri Lankan population. A lively introduction to traditional, age-old health practices in Sri Lanka, this volume examines the factors and processes by which people make choices between modern and traditional medicine.
