Integrated Pathy: Re-envisioning Healthcare and Wellness Using India as a Case Study brings together the best holistic treatments tailored to improve patient care. The book focuses on health and healing rather than disease and treatment. Instead of following the fragmented approach of modern and contemporary line, or more specifically, the allopathic regime of treatments, the book views patients as a complete entity inclusive of minds, spirits, and bodies, and includes these dimensions in diagnosis and treatment to provide a custom healing regime. Attention is paid to inherent lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, quality of rest, sleep, and the nature of relationships.

Readers will find a fresh perspective on revitalizing traditional indigenous practices and the reliability and efficacy of so-called traditional and alternative therapies, both of which will undoubtedly contribute to the advancement of the ecosystem of research in this field.
