9th World Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Conference

Traditional Physical therapy medicine

Traditional medicine is the knowledge, skills, and practices based on some related theories, beliefs, and experiences indigenous to other different cultures, used in the maintenance of health and in the prevention, diagnosis, improvement or the treatment of physical and mental illness. The knowledge of certain herbs, animals, and minerals that have curative and palliative effects was transmitted from one generation to another and it is the outcome of bold experimentation through the trial and error method over some hundreds of years. Traditional medicine is the mother of all the other systems of medicine like Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani, Nature cure and even modern medicine.
