Conventional healthcare practices are deeply embedded in frameworks of culture, ecology, and spirituality, health care practices have changed across millennia along diverse cultures such as Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Unani, Siddha, African, Australian, Indonesian, and Pacific Islands indigenous systems. Such systems resort to the use of medicinal plants in order to deal with physical, mental, and spiritual health. The works on medicine from the ancient times point-out to the high level of development of the medicine for health care and its acts on the body and the results of its effects. Such medicinal plants as Achillea millefolium, Curcuma (Turmeric), and Artemisia annua have a great impact on contemporary ayurvedic medicine, but, on the other hand, there are many issues that traditional practices pose, one of them being modernization, ecological degradation, and scientific confirmation. Although traditional approach is convenient and culturally appropriate, especially in deprived parts, the traditional systems are usually sidelined in international health policies. Traditional and complementary medicine should be integrated in contemporary healthcare practices. As the World Health Organization (WHO) states that it has better prices and is more adaptable to cultures. Protection and scientific affirmation of such practices will play an essential role in conservation of cultural heritage, the upholding of sustainable healthcare and re-addressing healthcare gaps across the population community in a balanced harmony with modern medical practice.
