Médecine Traditionnelle (Traditional Medicine, African)
Médecine Traditionnelle Africaine is a comprehensive healthcare system rooted in the cultural practices and knowledge of African communities. It utilizes natural remedies derived from plants, minerals, and animal products, alongside spiritual and ritual practices aimed at healing the body, mind, and spirit. This approach emphasizes holistic wellbeing, community involvement, and ancestral wisdom, often integrating herbal medicine, massage, and ceremonies. Recognized as an important part of Africa’s cultural heritage, it is used both for preventative care and treatment, complementing modern medicine and addressing local health concerns with a deep respect for tradition and natural resources.
