Recognized Alternative Medicine Boards in India

There is no single "Indian Board of Alternative Medicine." Instead, several statutory bodies regulate specific traditional medicine systems:

• Central Council for Research in Ayurveda and Siddha (CCRAS) – Ayurveda and Siddha
• Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy (CCRH) – Homeopathy
• National Institute of Naturopathy (NIN) – Naturopathy
• Central Council of Indian Medicine (CCIM) – Regulates Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha education and practice
• Central Council of Homoeopathy (CCH) – Regulates homeopathy education and practice

These organizations oversee education, research, standardization, and practice standards for their respective fields. Always verify a practitioner’s credentials with the relevant council.
