Which of the following statements related to Indian medicine system is not correct?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The Unani system of medicine is an integral part of the Ministry of Ayush, which is an acronym for Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, Sowa Rigpa, and Homoeopathy [4]. The Ministry was established in 2014 to ensure the development and propagation of these traditional systems [1]. Therefore, the statement that Unani has been dissociated from the Ministry is incorrect. Regarding other options, the Siddha system is indeed a holistic system of medicine [4]. Sowa-Rigpa, also known as the Amchi system, is widely practiced in the Himalayan regions of India, including Ladakh, Sikkim, and Himachal Pradesh [2]. Finally, the Sushruta Samhita is a foundational text and major source of Ayurveda, focusing on surgical techniques and holistic healing [4].
