The paper attempts to critically engage with the idea of integrative medicine as a marker of pharmaceuticalization of Ayurveda in the recent decades. It examines what it means to say 'integrative' medicine using the metaphor of language from philosophy of science. Drawing upon fieldwork with Ayurveda practitioners, the paper also discusses the ramifications of integrative medicine in the current scenario in which there is no organizational parity between Ayurveda and biomedicine. The paper calls for a focus on Ayurveda for public health rather than the global health market.
本文试图批判性地探讨近几十年来阿育吠陀医学制药化标志下的整合医学理念。它运用科学哲学中的语言隐喻来审视“整合”医学意味着什么。基于对阿育吠陀医学从业者的实地调查,本文还讨论了在阿育吠陀医学与生物医学不存在组织平等的当前情形下整合医学的影响。本文呼吁关注阿育吠陀医学对公共健康的作用,而非全球健康市场。
