1. Traditional Medicine

Traditional medicine (TM) is stated as the sum of knowledge, skills, and practises based on theories, beliefs, and experiences that are indigenous to various cultures and are used to maintain health, as well as to prevent, diagnose, improve, or treat physical and mental conditions. Some traditional medicine systems are backed up by massive amounts of literature and recordings of theoretical notions and practical abilities, while others are passed down verbally from generation to generation. Till now, the majority of the population in several regions of the globe continues to rely on traditional medicine to cover their primary health care needs. Traditional medicine has grown in popularity over the last few decades all across the world. These approaches have been employed not only for primary healthcare of the poor in developing nations, but also in other countries where conventional medications predominate in the national healthcare system.

2. Ethnomedicine

Ethnomedicine is the study or comparison of traditional medicine practices among different ethnic groups, particularly indigenous peoples. Ethnomedicine is sometimes used interchangeably with traditional medicine. Ethnomedical research is interdisciplinary, employing ethnobotany and medical anthropology methodologies in the study of indigenous remedies. Ethnomedicine is the study and translation of health-related information and theories that people inherit and learn as a result of their cultural upbringing. Each community has its own medical culture, or "ethnomedicine," which shapes the medical common sense, or logic, of that society. In the recent decade, ethnobiology and ethnomedicine have seen a huge growth in research interest and activities. Scientific research in ethnobiology and ethnomedicine has made significant contributions to understanding traditional subsistence and medicinal knowledge and practice since the disciplines' beginning.

3. Herbal Medicine

A plant or plant part exploited for its aroma, flavour, or therapeutic characteristics is known as a herb. One sort of dietary supplement is herbal medicine. Tablets, capsules, powders, teas, extracts, and fresh or dried plants are all available. Herbal remedies are used by people to try to maintain or improve their health. Herbal medicine varies from conventional medicine in that it employs whole plants, usually in the form of an impurified extract; it also employs herb combination (polypharmacy); and it employs diagnostic methods centred on treating "underlying causes." Herbalists typically focus on treating medical conditions and enhancing one's overall well-being.

4. Natural Therapies

Naturopathy is a type of medicine that incorporates both modern and traditional techniques. Alternative, natural therapies to modern medicine are included. Alternative medicine/therapy and supplementary medicine/therapy are other synonyms for natural therapy, though the latter two should not be used interchangeably. These techniques, which are an alternative to conventional medicine, strive to fill in the gaps when regular therapies fail to deliver a satisfactory result. To put it another way, natural therapy refers to any alternative medical treatment that hasn't been scientifically demonstrated to produce the desired benefits but hasn't been proven to be detrimental. The focus of naturopathic treatment strategies is on prevention and education. Diet, exercise, and stress management are frequently emphasized.

5. Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a minimally invasive technique for stimulating nerve-rich areas of the skin surface to affect tissues, glands, organs, and numerous physiological processes. Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medical treatment that involves inserting needles into particular places on the skin to treat a variety of ailments. It is founded on the idea that a blockage or disturbance in the body's life energy, or "qi," can lead to health problems. Acupuncturists use hair-thin needles to restore qi flow, balance the body's energy, stimulate healing, and induce relaxation at particular acupuncture locations throughout the body. Each acupuncture needle causes a minor injury at the insertion site, which, while minor enough to cause little to no discomfort, is enough of a signal for the body to react.

6. Holistic Treatment

Holistic medicine is a holistic approach to healthcare that considers the full person. Its goal is to improve physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing. Holistic medicine is a type of medicine that blends standard treatment with complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). Holistic medicine isn't designed to be used in place of traditional medical care in general. It's usually suggested as a supplement to other treatments. Holistic treatment focuses on curing the whole person, not simply the symptoms of an illness or distress. A holistic doctor is a doctor who specialises in holistic medicine. The inclination to treat symptoms simply, rather than seeking and treating the fundamental cause or addressing a confluence of several contributing variables, is a response to what some people regard as a more reactionary approach to health. Because the terminology seem similar, holistic medicine and homoeopathy may be confused, but they are not the same.

7. Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is a pseudoscience that purports to improve psychological and physical well-being by using aromatic materials such as essential oils and other aroma molecules. It is provided as a complementary therapy or as a kind of alternative medicine, with the first indicating that it is used in addition to standard treatments and the latter meaning that it is used instead of standard, evidence-based treatments. Aromatherapists, or persons who have expertise in the practice of aromatherapy, use blends of potentially therapeutic essential oils that can be applied topically, massaged, inhaled, or dissolved in water. These essential oil molecules are inhaled or absorbed through the skin during an aromatherapy massage. They are supposed to affect the limbic system, a brain region known to be engaged in emotion, and hence induce good changes in the mind and body.

8. Aromatic Medicine

Aromatherapy is a holistic healing technique that promotes health and well-being by using natural plant extracts. It's also known as essential oil treatment. Aromatherapy is a type of medicine that uses fragrant essential oils to promote the health of the body, mind, and soul. It improves both physical and mental well-being. Aromatherapy is regarded as both a science and an art. Aromatherapy has recently gained popularity in the domains of science and medicine. Aromatherapy, often known as essential oil therapy, is a term used to describe a variety of conventional, alternative, and complementary therapies that make use of essential oils and other aromatic plant compounds.

9. Ayurveda

Ayurveda is an ancient Indian medical practise that dates back over 3,000 years. The Sanskrit terms ayur (life) and veda (science) are combined to form the term Ayurveda (science or knowledge). As a result, Ayurveda means "knowledge of life." Ayurveda encourages various lifestyle modifications and natural remedies to regain a balance between the body, mind, spirit, and environment, based on the belief that disease is caused by an imbalance or stress in a person's consciousness. Ayurvedic knowledge dates back over 5,000 years in India and is known as the "Mother of All Healing." It has its origins in ancient Vedic culture and has been passed down from generation to generation in an oral tradition from great masters to their students. Internal cleansing is the first step in Ayurveda treatment, followed by a particular diet, herbal treatments, massage therapy, yoga, and meditation.

Yoga therapy is a sort of treatment that focuses on improving mental and physical health using yoga postures, breathing exercises, meditation, and guided imagery. Yoga therapy's holistic approach supports the integration of mind, body, and spirit. Modern yoga therapy incorporates components of both physical therapy and psychotherapy into a wide spectrum of therapeutic methods. Yoga has been demonstrated in numerous studies to have a favourable impact on the body in a variety of ways, including helping to control blood glucose levels, improve musculoskeletal disorders, and maintain a healthy cardiovascular system. Yoga has also been demonstrated to offer significant psychological advantages, such as increasing mental energy and positive feelings while reducing negative feelings of aggression, despair, and anxiety.

11. Medicinal Plants

Since prehistoric times, medicinal plants, often known as medicinal herbs, have been identified and utilized in traditional medicine practices. Plants synthesize hundreds of chemical compounds for defence against insects, fungi, disease, and herbivorous mammals, among other things. Numerous phytochemicals have been found as having biological activity, either potential or established. Medicinal plants are well-known and popular for a variety of health advantages, including blood pressure reduction, cardiovascular disease prevention, and cancer risk reduction due to their antioxidant activity. The most dynamic, polyvalent technique for managing complicated, multivariate physiological disorders is medicinal plants. In non-industrialized communities, medicinal plants are commonly used, mostly because they are readily available and less expensive than conventional pharmaceuticals.

12. Mind Therapies

Mind-body treatments are a collection of healing techniques that aim to promote overall health and well-being by enhancing the mind's interactions with bodily function. Daily practice is required to get the most out of these therapies, which have grown in popularity over the previous two decades. An increasing amount of evidence suggests that mind-body therapies can help cancer patients cope better by reducing physical and emotional symptoms and boosting coping skills. These methods are most suited for patients and survivors to assist manage their own care because they are pleasant, non invasive, and useful. MBT should be tailored and personalised to the patients' needs and abilities, and should be included in an individual rehabilitation plan developed by rheumatologists, physical therapists, and patients, taking into account the underlying disease as well as the patients' psychological characteristics, needs, and abilities.

13. Unani and Siddha medicine

Unani medicine, also known as Yunani medicine, is a Perso-Arabic traditional medicine practised in Muslim cultures in South Asia and Central Asia today. Unani medicine is a pseudoscientific system of medicine. Because the Perso-Arabic system of medicine was based on the teachings of Greek physicians Hippocrates and Galen, the term Y?n?n? means "Greek." Unani medicine has a Hellenistic background in that it is based on the four classical humours: phlegm (balgham), blood (dam), yellow bile (afr), and black bile (saud'), but it has also been inspired by Indian and Chinese traditional systems.

Siddha medicine is one of India's oldest medicinal traditions. Siddha is the mother medicine of the peninsular South Indian Tamils/Dravidians. Siddha is a Sanskrit word that means "established truth." Siddhars were those who were involved in the establishment of such a Siddha school of thought. In Tamil, they chronicled their mystic discoveries in medicine, yoga, and astrology. The theories of the Five Elements (Aimpootham) and Three Forces/Faults are among Siddha's fundamental principles (Mukkuttram).

14. Traditional Medicine and their Authentication

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.

15. Translational Research in Traditional Medicine

Today's "buzzword" for research is translational research, however it is a relatively new field of study. Until the twenty-first century, there was little critical consideration of the ethics of translational research. Translational research moves from the laboratory bench to clinical research, clinical treatment at the patient's bedside, and back to the laboratory bench. Translational research aims to speed the flow of insights from clinicians that are moulded into questions that can be answered at the bench and in the clinical research setting, as well as to transfer basic research discoveries into therapies. This concept is being used in pharmaceutical sciences and medication development to speed up the conversion of basic and/or clinical research discoveries into long-term health care solutions. The significance of a translational approach in traditional medicine research could help to justify complex disease treatment therapy.

16. Integrative Medicine in Healthcare

Integrative medicine refers to the treatment of patients using spiritual, emotional, mental, and environmental approaches in addition to medical ones. The main premise is that while treating disease, all elements of the patient are evaluated, including natural and less invasive alternatives whenever available. Integrated medicine (or integrative medicine in the United States) is the practice of medicine that includes complementary medicine and alternative medicine aspects into comprehensive treatment plans with more traditional diagnostic and treatment approaches. Integrative medicine is described as therapeutic treatment that considers the full individual (body, mind, and spirit), as well as all aspects of lifestyle. Integrative medicine takes into account all of the factors that can affect one's health. It is the study of human ecology, which encompasses both physical and nonphysical aspects of people interaction with their surroundings. Relationships provide insight into each individual's unique condition and needs, which is used to provide care. Evidence and study will continue to aid us in determining which therapies will assist in the healing of the body.

17. Traditional Medicine: Bimolecular and Clinical Aspects

The worldwide popularity of herbal supplements, as well as the promise they hold in treating a variety of diseases, has sparked a surge in research into the molecular foundation of traditional treatments' biological activity. The potent antioxidant effects of herbs and spices have been explored in the last decade due to the strong links between oxidative stress, ageing, and disease. The herbs included are some of the most commonly used treatments, and they include flowering herbs, fruits and berries, roots and rhizomes, and fungi, among others. The use of mass spectrometry and chemometric fingerprinting technology in the authentication of herbs has also been investigated in the last decade to assist provide a new level of quality control to the production of herbal extracts. There is a requirement for rigorous scientific study of herbal medicines as the demand for effective, inexpensive health promotion and treatment expands, especially in the growing elderly population.

18. Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is a science-based profession that takes a holistic approach to health and wellness, taking into account the patient's overall lifestyle. The patient's involvement in their own care, through education, awareness, empowerment, and participation in their treatment, is at the heart of the process. Physiotherapy can be beneficial at any point in one's life. Physiotherapy assists in the treatment of back pain or a sudden injury, as well as the management of long-term medical conditions like asthma and the preparation for childbirth or a sporting event. Within the areas of promotion, prevention, treatment/intervention, and rehabilitation, it is concerned with finding and maximising quality of life and mobility potential. Physical techniques are used to promote, maintain, and repair physical, psychological, and social well-being while accounting for differences in health status.
