Fiji\u2019s Traditional, Complementary and Integrative Medicine systems reflect <\/span>iTaukei <\/span><\/i>(Indigenous Fijian) healing, combined with Indian Fijian Ayurvedic and spiritual practices. Traditional healers (<\/span>bete<\/span><\/i>) use herbal infusions, massage, <\/span>lovo<\/span><\/i> (heat therapy) and spiritual rituals. Ayurveda and Indian spiritual healing are also widely practised within the population of <\/span>Fijians of Indian descent<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fiji\u2019s Ministry of iTaukei Affairs acknowledges the role of traditional healers in cultural preservation, though formal integration into the national health system remains limited.
