Medical pluralism

Medical pluralism refers to the coexistence and use of multiple healthcare systems and treatment options within a society or individual’s health practice. This can include traditional healing methods, herbal remedies, spiritual practices, as well as modern Western medicine. People often choose different approaches based on cultural beliefs, personal preferences, or the types of health issues they face. Medical pluralism reflects a diverse healthcare landscape where various medical systems operate alongside each other, allowing individuals to select treatments that align with their values and needs.
