Traditional medicine (also known as indigenous or folk medicine) refers to medicinal parts of traditional knowledge that developed through generations inside many communities' folk beliefs prior to the advent of modern medicine. Traditional medicine is thus mostly used to distinguish ancient and culturally based healthcare treatments that existed prior to the application of science to health issues in official modern scientific medicine or allopathy. Herb authentication is a quality control procedure that assures that the correct plant species and plant parts are utilized as raw materials in herbal medications. The safety and efficacy of herbal medications are dependent on the correct identification of herbal raw materials.
