Abstract
Traditional medicine may be regarded as the branch of medicine whose philosophy is rooted in the enhancement of body’s own healing power through the use of natural means. It is the oldest form of health care system that has stood the test of time. In South Africa, traditional medicine encapsulates a myriad of health practices, approaches, knowledge, and beliefs. Most people in South Africa prefer using traditional medicine to Western medicine because they believe that traditional medicine is more efficient, accessible, and affordable. This paper focuses on the use of traditional medicine among indigenous rural and urban communities in South Africa. Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Uwakwe C. Chukwu | Abayomi Ajayi-Majebi | Sarhan M.
