Headline Traditional Medicine in the WHO region of the Americas 
Description Traditional medicine (TM) refers to the knowledge, skills and practices based on the theories, beliefs and experiences indigenous to different cultures, used in the maintenance of health and in the prevention, diagnosis, improvement or treatment of physical and mental illness. 



Traditional medicine covers a wide variety of therapies and practices which vary from country to country and region to region. In some countries, it is referred to as "alternative" or "complementary" medicine (CAM).



Traditional medicine has been used for thousands of years with great contributions made by practitioners to human health, particularly as primary health care providers at the community level. TM/CAM has maintained its popularity worldwide.



Since the 1990s its use has surged in many developed and developing countries. 
The Chief of the Tribe of Los Colorados explains how one root was good for the kidneys, and how a small shrub could cure heart ailments.
