Various medical systems originating from different ages and cultures
are compared. First, we consider the evolution of Western medicine,
especially homeopathy and scientific medicine. Recent developments in
science (e.g., chaos theory) allow of new interpretations. This is
also the case for several Eastern methods that are considered
subsequently, e.g., Ayurveda (India) and the Traditional Chinese
Medicine. Finally, new developments in Western medicine are included
and compared with old ethnotherapeutic methods. It turns out that
there exist suprising common features of methods that seem to be very
different at first sight. A transcultural framework can be seen to
emerge.
