| description |
Traditional medicine practice involves a
complex combination of activities, order of knowledge,
beliefs and customs to generate the desired effects for the
diagnosis, prevention or elimination of imbalances in
physical, psychological or social well-being. Traditional
medicine practice is based on the indigenous knowledge of a
given people, a given community, and their experiences in
the context of the local culture and environment - it is
dynamic and changes with time depending on the prevailing
situation. Traditional medicine practitioners (TMP) comprise
herbalists, bonesetters, psychic healers, traditional birth
attendants, faith healers, diviners, and spiritualists who
use indigenous knowledge for developing materials and
procedures. Traditional healers are an integral part of the
local culture and are appreciated as key and sustainable
sources of care and knowledge on disease and illness. |
