Abstract

Traditional medicine, encompassing diverse practices such as herbal remedies, acupuncture, and spiritual healing, has been used for centuries across various cultures for pain relief. These practices, deeply rooted in historical and cultural contexts, offer unique approaches to managing pain by addressing physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of health. This article explores the effectiveness of traditional medicine in managing pain, comparing it to conventional medical treatments. The discussion includes an analysis of various traditional practices, their underlying mechanisms, patient outcomes, and the limitations of these methods. The findings suggest that while traditional medicine offers significant benefits, including fewer side effects and a holistic approach, it should be integrated with modern medicine to ensure optimal pain management and comprehensive patient care.
