Abstract of the presentation
Traditional Medicine – Today and Tomorrow
Branch: Herbalism (Traditional European Medicine)
Traditional medicine is an intangible cultural heritage on all continents of this planet. Everywhere and at all times, humankind has treated pain, insanity, and organic or psychological deficits within a cultural framework. Today, modern technical and scientific standards raise questions about tradition. Experience vs. clinical evidence? The new WHO Global Strategy for Traditional Medicine 2025–2034 has cut the connection to the earlier strategies. Out of concern for disinformation, fake news, and alternative facts, only evidence-based medical procedures are expected to survive. But what does this mean for patients and practitioners?
