Traditional African Medicine

Traditional African Medicine (TAM) is a holistic system of health care rooted in indigenous knowledge, practices, and beliefs across Africa. It involves natural remedies derived from plants, minerals, and animal products, combined with spiritual rites, herbal therapies, and community-based approaches. TAM aims to treat physical ailments, spiritual imbalances, and social issues, emphasizing harmony between body, mind, and environment. It plays a vital role in many African communities, often coexisting with modern medicine, and reflects a deep cultural understanding of health that has been passed down through generations.
