Traditional medicine is the knowledge, skills, and practices derived from the theories, beliefs, and experiences native to the different cultures, applied to the maintenance of health and in the prevention, diagnosis, improvement, or treatment of physical and mental diseases. These systems, such as Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Unani, Kampo, traditional African medicine, and other indigenous practices, are centuries old and reflect a body of accumulated empirical knowledge. At the Traditional Medicine and Ethnomedicine World Conference TMEWC 2026, the Traditional Medicine track will examine recent advances in scientific research, clinical practice, international health policy, regulation, and technological innovation. The session will also stress ethical issues in safeguarding indigenous knowledge and the sustainable use of natural resources.
