Abstract

Since 2000, the British House of Lords and the Government have been working towards a regulatory scheme for Complementary and Alternative medicine in Britain, a scheme that will include ayurveda. The present paper discusses these regulatory moves by the Government, and suggests that shortcomings in the range and type of evidence taken into account by the various Government agencies will leave a legacy of difficulties for CAM practitioners and their patients.
