Folk medicine
Folk medicine
Folk medicine encompasses traditional
healing
practices rooted in cultural beliefs and passed
down orally through generations. It relies on easily accessible resources for
home remedies, adapting to local environments, and reflecting
community-specific beliefs. Administered by community healers and often infused
with spiritual
elements, it addresses common ailments through a holistic approach. While
valuable within specific cultural contexts, its effectiveness and safety vary,
necessitating consultation with healthcare professionals
for serious health conditions.
