 INDIGENOUS MEDICAL TRADITION

The spread of yurveda through the
entire cross section of Kerala society was
not
an
isolated
occurrence,
M.R.Raghavavarier is of the opinion that
there are ample evidence to infer a
universal
pattern
extending
from
Travancore in the south to Kolattuna in
north.

This universal appeal resulted in

exchange of ideas as well as newer
additions to the materia medica of
yurveda.
