Indian Health and Wellness facilities increased substantially between the early 1950s and early 1980s. India is progressively becoming a leading medical travel and tourism destination since the services it provides are highly compatible to the major hospitals in the US and the UK. Apart from this, treatment costs are highly affordable and people can expect to get treated with immediacy which is unlikely in European countries.

Tourists who visit India for any kind of medical treatment like organ transplant, implant, joint replacement or health surgery services find it cost effective and hassle free. India is fast becoming the one stop destination for various health care services.

India essentially provides three forms medical practice. The traditional practice is the ayurvedic (meaning science of life) system, which predominantly deals with causes, symptoms, diagnoses, and treatment based on all aspects of well-being (mental, physical, and spiritual.)

The second is Homeopathy, the youngest of all medical faculties and it is growing. It is modern not only by virtue of being young, but more importantly homeopathy is the revolutionary, natural medical science. The remedies are prepared from natural substances to precise standards and work by stimulating the body's own healing powers.

Finally, Allopathy a term used for conventional medicine. This practice treats diseases by means of drugs having effects opposite to the symptoms (often contrasted with homeopathy). Allopathy treats diseases with remedies that produce effects antagonistic to those caused by the disease itself.
