Traditional medicine refers to health practices, knowledge, and beliefs developed over generations within different cultures. It includes the use of herbal remedies, traditional diets, manual therapies, spiritual healing, and indigenous medical systems. Traditional medicine remains a primary source of healthcare for many populations, especially in rural and resource-limited settings. Public health interest in traditional medicine focuses on safety, effectiveness, quality control, and appropriate integration with modern healthcare systems. Research and regulation help validate beneficial practices while minimizing risks. Respecting cultural traditions and indigenous knowledge is essential in public health planning. When scientifically evaluated and responsibly integrated, traditional medicine can enhance healthcare accessibility, cultural acceptance, and patient-centered care while supporting holistic approaches to health and well-being.
