There are two conceptually divergent streams of therapeutic modules operative in India today both being vibrant. These modules are operative on one hand in the modern hospitals as Allopathic system and the other being scattered in the country especially in the rural parts as Ayurvedic, Sidha and Unani and to an extent the century and half old Homeopathic systems. This review is to probe the possibility of converging the conceptually different systems under a single roof of modern hospital, the rendezvous achieved by the role of a Clinical Pharmacognosist who could bridge the gap between both the systems. The concept has been pushed on for the last decade and half by way of scientific articles and presentations by the author. There are several instances- especially in the southern India that many modern hospitals maintain a holistic wing without any clinical interaction of give and take. It is vital to operate both the systems complimentarily keeping their own idiom intact in the presence of Physicians of both the systems who are linked by Clinical Pharmacognosist in the hospital environment.
