Journal Title: Qlantic Journal of Social Sciences - QJSS - Year 2023, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper aims to understand the role of traditional healing practices through different examples. Traditional medicine has always been a crucial aspect of society especially when it comes to healthcare and practices of self-care. Cultural beliefs intervene in people’s health-seeking behavior which is pertinent to discuss especially in the context of Pakistan where alternative therapies or medicine have been practiced by people who believe in spiritual healing, herbalists, Hakeem, and homeopaths, etc. The purpose is to help make the healthcare system in Pakistan more inclusive, informed, and efficient. Finally, the article emphasizes the need for a collaborative health care system by creating a niche for traditional healing practices.
