It was found that traditional modes of therapy are significantly popular among our soldiers . It is, perhaps, the need due to a number of traditional medicine and to evolve a policy for our health providers to acknowlege the existence of traditional medicine and to evolve a policy for the judicial use of these therapies in our society on scientific basis.
