Some of these evolved systems are Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha, Yoga and Naturopathy. Homeopathy, although of German origin, is also widely practiced in India. Methods: The participants of the study were Allopathy doctors working in various clinical departments in a Medical College Hospital. A structured pre-designed questionnaire was used. Results: Allopathy doctors have knowledge about AYUSH .Medical graduates would require exposure during undergraduation to understand about AYUSH better. Conclusions: Sensitization of medical graduates toward AYUSH can enable them to better understand the implications of the use of AYUSH by their patients.
