Abstract
Traditional Medicines has been practiced for millennia, resulting in a particularly long
and rich heritage that continues to influence growing acceptance of the efficacy and
clinical use of traditional herbal medicines. In Bhutan, the system of traditional
medicine was officially integrated into the health care system in 1967. This essay
intends to introduce some of the current situations and challenges faced by the
Traditional Medicine Units in Bhutan. Awareness campaigns on the availability and
health benefits of traditional medicines have been organized in Dorokha Dungkhag
under Samtse Dzongkhag. Such awareness campaigns have significantly helped the
community people to understand more about traditional medicine encouraging them
to visit the unit for medical care.
