Post Series: Global Traditional Medicine Systems
In order to spread awareness about the rich living herbal traditions from around the world, this post series will introduce some of the characteristics of the herbal or traditional medicine systems to which plants belong.
Mexican Traditional Medicine encompasses the rich indigenous cultures and accompanying herbal knowledge and healing practices that make up modern day Mexico.
This can include indigenous cultures such as Aztec, Maya and Zapotec, as well as incorporating Spanish colonial traditions and elements of European and African influences.
Herbal remedies are part of the tradition, but there are also ritual and spiritual healing practices, along with massage, body work, traditional diets and traditional knowledge.
