“…When the destination areas are the homelands of healthcare service users, they want to stay there to the end of the life (terminal care). Even if not the homeland, some areas may be the spiritual (the mother languages or religious) homelands of users [14] [15]. Then they may want to have the terminal care there.…”

This paper proposes to construct long-staying healthcare service facilities in developing areas for the purposes to serve the local people and the visiting people from the distant areas including developed areas or foreign countries. This is a new business model of half-public and half-private character to complement the insufficiencies of and to fill the gaps between the governmental medical aid from developed countries to developing countries and the medical tourism from developed areas to developing areas or verse versa mainly at individual levels. Using a set of conceptual methods like need analysis, obstacle analysis, conflict analysis and complementarity analysis, this paper examines the merits and the problems of the proposed third type (eclectic) system to healthcare service providers, service users, the host areas and the local communities.

After this the decomposed cadaver should be removed (from the cage) and using fragrant roots of plants the cadaver should be gently rubbed and any part of the body which is removed would be visually inspected in great detail.…”

Ayurveda used unique methods to understand human anatomy, which included examination of cadavers. Conventional anatomy is based on cadaver dissection with complex tools to understand histology. Computational modelling of the anatomy of the skin based on light attenuation at different wavelengths converted into corresponding chromophores gave a model which resembles that described in Ayurveda. The descriptions of the Ayurveda sages Charaka (Circa 500 B.C.) and Sushruta (Circa 600 B.C.) in classical Ayurveda are compared with contemporary, conventional anatomy and with the computational model. Such comparisons can facilitate an integrated approach to dermatology.

“…It acts as an antioxidant and inhibits the formation of lipid peroxides, and thus prevents skin aging. (8) Recently, green tea has been introduced as an active component in moisturizers. Both green tea and vitamin E have antioxidant effects that have been related to delaying the aging process.…”
