| Conclusion |
| The human body is the universe in miniature. That which cannot be found in the body is not to be found in the universe. Hence the philosopher's formula that the universe within reflects the universe without. It follows therefore that if our knowledge of our own body could be perfect, we would know the universe. Mahatma Gandhi |
| Medicine and health care ideally should be an integrated system that encompasses all forms of medical techniques, philosophies, and practices. The World Health Organization has proclaimed: |
| 1. The enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being. |
| 2. Health is more thin the absence of illness; it is an active state of physical, emotional, mental, and social well-being. |
