Traditional medicine

Traditional medicine refers to healthcare practices and beliefs that have developed over centuries within various cultures. It often includes herbal remedies, acupuncture, massage, and spiritual healing techniques. Unlike modern medicine, which is based on scientific research and evidence, traditional medicine relies on historical knowledge, cultural traditions, and holistic approaches. It aims to balance the body, mind, and spirit, addressing not just the symptoms of illness but the overall well-being of the individual. Examples include Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda from India, and Native American healing practices. Many people around the world still use these methods alongside conventional treatments.
