The implementation of traditional knowledge in developed countries should begin with the revaluation of knowledge traditional, for this, access to land is needed to maintain agricultural practices and knowledge ethnobotanicals as alternatives in health improvement. Some medications are based on the healing properties of plants. Therefore, it is necessary to revalue traditional knowledge in the use of native and naturalized medicinal plants that can be proposed as emblematic plants in sustainability, as well as part of ecotourism proposals where there is an identity within urban areas, where tourists are highlighted, the transmission of knowledge about its history, traditional and socio-cultural management of the plant. With this, get to involve modern medicine with traditional medicine.

Attached I send an article, it is not focused on your question, but there are some things that can be useful. The scientific article is in Spanish. Greetings.

The main problem to integrate traditional medicine into modern medicine is inconsistency of the quality of medicinal plants which used as raw materials. Therefore , it is necessary to standardised medicinal plants concerning of good agricultural practice, standarization in chemical contents, etc. Without these, integration traditional medicine into modern medicine will faced several constrain.

What a brilliantly pertinent question. I believe that it is achieved by using all the branches of sciences to explain the pharmacodynamics and mechanisms of actions of herbs. Then by using our up to date and full knowledge of the pathophysiology of a condition or disease process that we can then explain and justify their traditional use. I use this approach myself in my writing, research and dealing with my patients. I’ve written a paper and co-authored a study that should be published this year using these principles. I shall post it on researchgate with the agreement of my co-authors.
