Traditional healing methods are often deeply intertwined with the customs and beliefs of indigenous cultures, offering an invaluable resource for modern medicine. However, the risk of losing this knowledge has prompted a renewed focus on the cultural preservation of healing practices. These practices, which include the use of plants, rituals, and natural therapies, provide diverse alternatives to conventional treatments. Preserving these practices ensures that they continue to be part of the global healthcare conversation, providing unique insights into holistic and preventative approaches to wellness that complement today’s scientific advancements. As interest in natural and culturally rooted therapies grows, integrating these traditions into contemporary health strategies could foster a more inclusive and balanced healthcare system.
