E-drug: Traditional medicine
----------------------------------------------------------
Dear E-Druggers,
In our work to develop a National Drug Policy document we have discussed
about the naming of those medicines like herbals and remedies originating
directly from the nature and used by practitioners with an approach of
traditions and believes in healing practices. Traditional Medicine is a much
wider concept and includes much more than just the actual medicine used in a
treatment.
In an NDP we would like to have some kind of quality aspect and therefore it
is necessary to limit the target to those products originating from the nature
and therefore it may be more appropriate with a title like "Natural
Medicines", "Natural Drugs" or " Traditional Nature Medicines". The naming
is important to lead to the right association. We would very much appreciate
advise from those of you with experience.
On behalf of the National Drug Policy Group in Angola I look forward to
having your opinion.
