Medicine in India 2025: Diabetes, Cancer, Ayurveda, and Surgery Insights

When it comes to medicine in India, the blend of modern healthcare and ancient healing traditions that shapes how millions manage illness and stay healthy. Also known as Indian healthcare system, it’s not just hospitals and pills—it’s about how people choose between metformin and tulsi, when to trust insurance abroad, or whether gold powder really helps with joint pain. This isn’t theoretical. In June 2025, readers were asking hard questions: Is three years in therapy too long? Can a 75-year-old safely get a knee replacement? Does your health plan cover surgery in Thailand? These aren’t edge cases—they’re everyday decisions shaping lives across the country.

Diabetes treatment, the ongoing effort to control blood sugar without relying only on one drug. Also known as type 2 diabetes management, it’s a daily battle for millions. In this archive, you’ll find clear breakdowns of metformin alternatives that actually work, with no jargon, just what your body needs. Then there’s cancer survival, how long people live after diagnosis, and what really moves the needle—treatment, mindset, or access to care. Also known as prognosis in oncology, it’s a topic filled with myths. We cut through the noise with real numbers, not false hope. And let’s not forget Ayurveda, a 5,000-year-old system using herbs, metals, and lifestyle to restore balance. Also known as traditional Indian medicine, it’s not just tea and incense. This month, we dug into tulsi as the queen of herbs, and yes, we asked if gold bhasma is science or superstition. These aren’t random topics. They’re what people in India are actually using, arguing about, or wondering if they should try.

Recovery after heart surgery? We spelled out the warning signs you can’t ignore. Orthopedic referrals? We explained why your doctor might send you to a specialist—and what to expect when you get there. IVF costs in the U.S.? We gave real prices, not guesswork. And for those facing the question, "When is cancer no longer curable?"—we didn’t sugarcoat it. This collection isn’t a list of articles. It’s a map of what matters right now: practical, no-BS answers for patients, families, and anyone trying to make sense of health in a complex system.
