practices. Rapid westernization and introduction of modern medicine in many
places has affected not only the traditional system but also I associated with
it. Especially in areas with rapid urbanizations the traditional medicinal
system and I have become seriously vulnerable. The risk is not so great for
well documented Ayurvedic, Hekimi and Unani ones but many undocumented system
of folk medicine which have been handed down form one generations to the next
by word of month are in example of the indigenous knowledge based folk medicine
which has been used and appreciated since prehistoric times.
