Folk medicine and treatment contributions to primary health care (PHC)
Folk medicines play an important role in rural sectors. Rural poor and marginalized people in India depend on herbal
remedies and folk treatment. In fact in remote areas this is the only source of health care available5
. At first they try their
traditional knowledge to cure non savior health problems in their home background. When they do not get any positive
response about regarding this health problem then they go to “Ojha or Gunin or Kobiraj”. Only when they feel severe
problems they go to primary health center.
