Regulatory Body for AYUSH Practitioners and Educational Institutes

Health being a state subject, the practice of AYUSH doctors is regulated by the respective State Governments. However, Government of India has set up two regulatory bodies, namely, Central Council of Indian Medicine (CCIM) under Indian Medicine Central Council (IMCC) Act 1970 for regulation of educational institutions and practitioners in respect of Ayurveda, Unani and Sidha systems of medicines and Central Council of Homoeopathy (CCH) under Homoeopathy Central Council Act, 1973 for regulation of educational institutions and practitioners in respect of Homoeopathy system of medicines. At present Yoga & Naturopathy, being drugless systems, are not regulated.
