Abstrakt
In my paper I draw upon an ethnographic research of the enactment of Ayurveda, which is considered one of traditional Indian medical systems, in the Czech Republic. Whereas my fieldwork focused on one Ayurvedic community, I also approach the practices involved in the process of the local accommodation of Ayurveda across different realms.
Through the unpacking of the entanglement of the study, teaching and treatment in Ayurvedic framework; official debates held by CAM and Czech governmental institutions as some WHO and EU traditional medicine policies I discuss the limits, possibilities and implication of the process of construction of Ayurvedic medical culture.
