Download or read book The Pride of African Traditional Medicine written by Elia Shabani Mligo and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If there was a practice heavily attacked by early Christian missionaries in Africa, it is African traditional healing practice and the role of traditional medicine men and women in the wellbeing of society. These were not only considered heathen, but also hindrances to the initiatives of missionaries to propagate their Christian message. However, African traditional medicine and medicine men and women are still major sources of healing for most African people (both Christians and non-Christians) until now. This book examines why most Africans have not abandoned their traditional healing practices despite the condemnations of churches and the vast promises of modern medical treatments around them. It analyzes the place of each medical practice in God's call to participate in the healing ministry. The book argues that African traditional medicine and medicine men and women are also called by God to participate in the healing ministry as are any other healers. Therefore, this book is important in both medical and theological studies because it reflects on the contribution of both biomedical and African traditional medical practices towards promoting the wellbeing of God's people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AFRICAN TRADITIONAL MEDICINE AMONG SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS: ? Revealed that African traditional medicine could be used in the explicable or inexplicable form. ? Examined the veracity of the claim that the practice and use of African traditional medicine amounted to idolatry, ? Identified the patterns and extent of the practice and use of traditional medicine among the Seventh-day Adventists in particular and Christians in general, ? Analyzed the social, economic and spiritual impacts of the practice and use of traditional medicine on Seventh-day Adventists and other Christians. ? Discussed the interplay between African traditional medical practices and Western medical practices in the health care delivery system of the Seventh-day Adventists. ? Discovered that Seventh-day Adventists use the explicable form of African traditional medicine to meet their health needs because it was affordable, available and effective to meet their health needs. ? Demonstrated that using the explicable form of African traditional medicine to meet the health needs of Seventh-day Adventists is supported by the Bible and Ellen G. White, who said among other things that: God has caused to grow out of the ground, herbs for the use of man, and if we understand the nature of these roots and herbs, and make a right use of them, there would not be a necessity of running to the doctor so frequently, and people would be in much better health than they are today.

Download or read book African Traditional Medicine Autonomy and Informed Consent written by Peter Ikechukwu Osuji and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-07-18 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on informed consent in African Traditional Medicine (ATM). ATM forms a large portion of the healthcare systems in Africa. WHO statistics show that as much as 80% of the population in Africa uses traditional medicine for primary health care. With such a large constituency, it follows that ATM and its practices should receive more attention in bioethics. By comparing the ethics of care approach with the ATM approach to Relational Autonomy In Consent (RAIC), the authors argue that the ATM focus on consent based on consensus constitutes a legitimate informed consent. This book is distinctive insofar as it employs the ethics of care as a hermeneutic to interpret ATM. The analysis examines the ethics of care movement in Western bioethics to explore its relational approach to informed consent. Additionally, this is the first known study that discusses healthcare ethics committees in ATM.

Download or read book Healing Traditions written by Karen Elizabeth Flint and published by University of Kwazulu Natal Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation In August 2004, South Africa officially legalized the practice of traditional healers. Largely in response to the HIV/AIDS pandemic, and limited both by the number of practitioners and by patients’ access to treatment, biomedical practitioners looked toward the country’s traditional healers as important agents in the development of medical education and treatment. This collaboration has not been easy. The two medical cultures embrace different ideas about the body and the origin of illness, but they do share a history of commercial and ideological competition and different relations to state power.Healing Traditions: African Medicine, Cultural Exchange, and Competition in South Africa, 1820–1948provides a long-overdue historical perspective to these interactions and an understanding that is vital for the development of medical strategies to effectively deal with South Africa’s healthcare challenges. Between 1820 and 1948 traditional healers in Natal, South Africa, transformed themselves from politically powerful men and women who challenged colonial rule and law into successful entrepreneurs who competed for turf and patients with white biomedical doctors and pharmacists. To understand what is “traditional” about traditional medicine, Flint argues that we must consider the cultural actors not commonly associated with African therapeutics: white biomedical practitioners, Indian healers, and the implementing of white rule. Carefully crafted, well written, and powerfully argued, Flint’s analysis of the ways that indigenous medical knowledge and therapeutic practices were forged, contested, and transformed over two centuries is highly illuminating, as is her demonstration that many “traditional” practices changed over time. Her discussion of African and Indian medical encounters opens up a whole new way of thinking about the social basis of health and healing in South Africa. This important book will be core reading for classes and future scholarship on health and healing in South Africa.

Book excerpt: A Contextual Exploration of Phytomedicines’ Development in Africa comprises nine chapters, which focus on the critical role of medicinal plants in healthcare delivery on the African continent. The book begins with how phytomedicines can stimulate access to quality healthcare for socioeconomic development, and then discusses research and development efforts in Traditional Medicine for achieving universal health coverage in the African Region as well as approaches for producing sustainable, quality and safe phytomedicines. In an attempt to highlight some of the socio-anthropological aspects of plant medicines, the book takes a brief look at the ecological link between nature and phytomedicines, and concludes with a discussion of the critical factors for effective promotion and sustainability of African Traditional Medicine.
