Abstract
This study analyzes the factors behind the resilience of traditional medicine. It highlights its contributions in social, cultural, and economic aspects. Individual and collective efforts are currently working to preserve knowledge and practices related to traditional medicine. Natural medicine is valued for its healing principles, affordability, and lack of side effects compared to modern medicine.
The study also explores anthropological and sociological aspects of disease and health—areas such as medical anthropology and ethnomedicine—emphasizing that understanding illness requires insights into broader social and cultural perceptions (like how illness and health are viewed as social constructs). These elements are essential for guiding professional training and experiences, especially during epidemics or health crises that impact various aspects of life.
Analytically, the research focuses on a sociological approach, considering disease causes (etiology) and globalization's effects to better prevent illnesses. Healing is seen as a secondary step when preventive measures fail.
Additionally, the relationship between health and nutrition is emphasized—health strongly depends on proper nutrition. Historical and current trends also play a key role.
In conclusion, the study addresses health, environmental issues, and the influence of socio-cultural, economic, political, and social changes.
