Abstract
- The article focuses on the traditional medicine and indigenous knowledge in the health aspects of the Aboriginal peoples in Canada. It states that traditional medicine is viewed by most Aboriginal peoples as the medicine and medical practices applied under the localized geographical context of the country they belong. It mentions that indigenous knowledge is considered as a full knowledge system that has its own concepts of epistemology, philosophy, and scientific validity. It says that the restoring of the traditional medicine practices and the indigenous knowledge led to the enhancement of the health aspects of Aboriginal people. Moreover, it adds that the practices of traditional medicine can be applied through the promotion of the intervention and the prevention strategies.
