Abstract
Traditional Healing is the oldest kind of organised medicine, that is, a style of medicine that has an underlying philosophy and set of rules by which it is performed, and it has been around for thousands of years. It is the medicine from which all subsequent kinds of medicine sprang, including Chinese medicine, Graeco-Arabic medicine, and, of course, contemporary Western medicine as we know it. Traditional Healing was once an intrinsic aspect of semi-nomadic and agricultural tribal civilizations, and while archaeological evidence suggests otherwise, healing is still practised today. The systematic review was done on literature on how traditional practises are carried out all over India with reference to the different papers published in different journals in the year 2012. A few studies also examined the practise of traditions and how they are going to be extinct because the skill was not carried out by their children and grandchildren. The primary difficulty in India for herbal practises, as I saw, is that children and grandchildren are not continuing the profession, and that the land, which is fertile for growing several medicinal plants, is being lost due to deforestation. As the population grows, so should the health system; any health should be monitored and run by councils, who should keep track of herbal practises and provide certificates to trusts if they are interested in taking a course.
Keywords: Ayurveda, herbalism, traditional practices, rural areas.
