native medicine
Traditional tribal remedies
Native medicine refers to healing practices and remedies originating from indigenous cultures, typically using local plants, rituals, and traditional knowledge passed down through generations.
The term often appears in contrast to Western or modern medicine: She turned to native medicine after conventional treatments failed.
Also called traditional medicine or folk medicine, though native medicine specifically emphasizes indigenous origins.
