MEDICAL MALPRACTICE.; Another Death from Ignorant Treatment
http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9B05E2D6123BE...
As in China, so in India, one of the most prevalent forms of disease is that of the eye, and some very terrible examples of cruel and ignorant treatment ...

It is only as clear as the source text, which doesn't really specify, as I understand it. Ignorant treatment isn't limited to one or the other. In theory, neither should be ignorant, though in practice I suspect both are guilty at times. Does the broader context suggest that it is the yogi who is guilty of ignorant treatment?

You can just add "on the part of the yogi" even though it's not there. Anybody can treat his/her body with ignorance. You don't have to be a specialist to pull that off. I suppose we all do it at times—or possibly more often than that.

Note from asker:
| I'm not sure whether it is clear that a yogi himself is ignorant in treating his body rather than doctors or someone else? |
| Yes, it is the yogi who incorrectly treats his own body. And this is not a medical treatment |

ignorant handling of the body
I think this sounds a little less ambiguous (as in whether it is medical treatment or the way a person handles their own body). However, it does make it sound like we are talking about sacks of sand or boxes, as opposed to a human body - hence the low level of confidence. Could do with an opinion of a native speaker.

: "Treatment" is fine when you consider that this is the word we use when speaking of how a man treats his wife or parents treat their children (обращение с кем). "Handling" sounds more like addressing a problem/situation to me or like"man-handling.'

Agree, thank you for the comment. I was just a bit concerned about the potential ambiguity.
