Ethnomedicine

Explanation:

Ethnomedicine is the study of medicine that is used in parts of the world where there is an unavailability of western medicine. In other words the study of the materials that are used to treat illness in places that do not have access to western medicine.

It involves the study of anthropology and botany. The medical practices are passed down to generations orally.
