those traditional meds are amazing - i hated taking them when i was lil but it always worked....now that i've grown ive even taken lengths to google scholar some of this and early reports pre christian times say that medicine in the pacific was more advanced than the west some time (1600s) - i know someone who always talks about certain people who have these different roles in tongan community- i.e. someone who does faito'o (dunno if i spelled right/equiv to physio) - my sister who has seen many physiotherapists says the best massage she ever got was from a lady from tonga....man its so cool

Traditional medicine = medicine that hasn't passed the test. But interesting to see, and maybe some placebo^^

[@ladydiamondshepherd1960]

Passed the test according to who? Very much doubt it's a placebo affect when you've taken some as a child and hated it yet it worked better than the so called medicines that "passed the test". 😂

Or the raw ingredients of modern medicine
