Situating Religion and Medicine in Asia: Methodological Insights and Innovations

This volume presents studies of the mobilisation of practices for health and spiritual well-being in various regions and times across Asia. The chapters use a common structure to situate these practices within their regions and times, demonstrating how they circulated across religious, medical and scientific domains. Introducing methodological tools and positions, the chapters make a critical intervention into the histories of Science, Medicine and Religion in Asia.
