Over all, the entire scenario in ayurvedic treatment is getting modified and upgraded, and this book provides information about current happenings in the field of ayurveda.
The book starts with a chapter that enumerates the basic requirements for opening a new ayurvedic treatment centre—from the kind of infrastructure required to the kind of locality where such facilities can be started.
And the last portion of the book talks about all the legal aspects of running such a business successfully—from the various taxes that need to be paid to marketing strategies.
The book ends with a chapter that talks about the various career options available for ayurvedic doctors today.
It enumerates the personal qualities and qualifications that are needed to become successful in this field.
The book also talks about the various types of therapies and procedures that are followed in ayurvedic treatment. These are ancient techniques no doubt but the author informs us about the modernisation of these processes.
Like checking the pulse or 'nadi' diagnosis is as old as time itself but new devices and methods have been developed to make this process more reliable and user-friendly.
Likewise for all other ancient techniques such new devices and methods have been developed for more reliability. The book discusses in details about such devices and techniques.

Also, many new software applications have been developed recently that can be used in these ayurvedic procedures.

For example, 'Clinic' is a clinic-management software that facilitates the interaction between doctors and patients.
Information about where to buy such software and the prices are all provided in the book.
