This week on Selam and Hello, Lilly delves into the world of traditional medicine with Vitalice Ochieng, Senior Program Manager at the Trust for Indigenous Culture and Health (TICAH). Together they discuss the motivation and tenets of TICAH's book 'Using Our Traditions: A Health & Nutritional Guide for Kenyan Families' and explore their efforts in preserving and promoting traditional medical knowledge, the potential integration of traditional and modern medicine, and the challenges hindering broader acceptance of traditional practices. Vitalice also highlights the work TICAH does to connect cultures across Kenya and advocate for policies that would allow for rigorous testing and oversight of traditional medicine - allowing them to enter more mainstream markets. Finally, they envision the future of traditional medicine in Kenya, Africa, and the diaspora, celebrating its history in fostering resilience and well-being. Join us as we journey into 'The Case for Traditional Medicine,' celebrating age-old healing traditions and their vital role in holistic health.
