In Saint Kitts and Nevis, traditional healing practices reflect <\/span>Afro-Caribbean<\/span> and British colonial influences, with strong oral traditions passed down through families. Herbal medicine \u2013 locally referred to as \u201cbush medicine\u201d \u2013 includes teas, poultices and steam baths made from native and introduced plants. Community elders and local healers continue to be sources of informal care.<\/span><\/p>\n

While there is no formal policy on Traditional Medicine, the Ministry of Health has supported educational initiatives on the safe use of herbal remedies. Traditional practices remain integrated into family health routines and are gaining renewed interest as part of national wellness and heritage preservation efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n","slide_images":[{"ID":420,"id":420,"title":"default","filename":"default.jpg","filesize":697411,"url":"https:\/\/wp.staging.tmgl.org\/americas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/default.jpg","link":"https:\/\/wp.staging.tmgl.org\/americas\/countries\/antigua-and-barbuda\/default\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"default","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":416,"date":"2025-05-19
