What is "traditional medicine"?
Traditional medicine refers to the ancient healing practices and remedies passed down through generations within various cultures and societies. These practices often include herbal medicine, physical therapies, rituals, and spiritual approaches to encourage health and treat illnesses. Traditional medicine is deeply rooted in cultural beliefs and knowledge systems, addressing both the physical and spiritual aspects of health. While traditional medicine is widely practiced and valued in many regions worldwide, its effectiveness in treating specific medical conditions varies and is sometimes subject to debate in modern medical contexts that prioritize evidence-based practices.
