Bangladesh maintains a pluralistic system of traditional, complementary and Indigenous medicine, comprising Unani, Ayurveda, Homeopathy and folk practices rooted in both Islamic and South Asian traditions. Herbalism, spiritual healing and plant-based dietary therapies remain embedded in household and rural care. In addition, Indigenous communities in the Chittagong Hill Tracts practise their own unique forms of Traditional Medicine, drawing on local biodiversity and ritual knowledge.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare regulates Traditional, Complementary and Integrative Medicine (TCIM) through statutory councils and educational institutions, such as the Board of Unani and Ayurvedic Systems of Medicine. Government clinics and hospitals offer Ayush-based services, and TCIM education is integrated into health workforce training. Traditional knowledge holders are engaged in service delivery, particularly in reproductive, chronic and preventive care.<\/span><\/p>\n","slide_images":[{"ID":158,"id":158,"title":"default-2","filename":"default-2.jpg","filesize":632931,"url":"https:\/\/wp.staging.tmgl.org\/searo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/06\/default-2.jpg","link":"https:\/\/wp.staging.tmgl.org\/searo\/countries\/bangladesh\/default-2\/","alt":"","author":"6","description":"","caption":"","name":"default-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":156,"date":"2025-06-15
