Abstract
The Field Which Health and Culture Meets: Medical Anthropology
This article comparatively evaluates the studies of medical anthropology from past to today. I
discuss that “health” and “illness” terms are described as a cultural context. This article based upon
different perceptions of ethno-
medicine, folk-medicine and traditional medicine in different societies.
Traditional and modern medical practices and process, health and illness as a cultural context have
became contemporary subjects for different branches of social sciences.
Folk-medicine basing on
relations between health and culture is one of the basic fields of Folklore.
Keywords: Medical Anthropology, Traditional medicine,
