Traditional Medicine is a disgrace. As is any other kind of “alternative” medicine regardless of which culture it springs from. It’s either medicine or it’s not medicine; there is no third category.
The people peddling this stuff either either know it doesn’t work or they have no idea if it works or even harms their patients.
They’re charlatans and it’s one driver for extinction worldwide.
It’s the same kind of pernicious, regressive meme as the western “wellness” industry and we should all be scared of it.
- mytailorisrich 7y agoTraditional medicine includes the use of medicinal plants, which usually turn out to have actual properties.
- Lio 7y ago“usually” is a very dangerous word. It hides all the times these plants had no effect or a negative effect. Either these plants you speak of are effective and their efficacy can be demonstrated repeatedly using trials or they’re not and someone is selling superstition. That’s still a choice between medicine and not medicine.

- emaz1ng 7y agoActually, in medicine and math things are black and white. It's science.
