Abstract

The healthcare system of the tribal people is immensely associated with their religious beliefs, along with the interference of soul, spirit and deity. Their daily livelihood is dependent upon a number of natural resources. In this regard, the traditional healthcare practice of the concerned people deserves special attention. The present study has been done on the Karbi tribal group of Karbi Anglong, Assam. The Karbi people had a strong belief on different supernatural powers and its impact on their health. Meanwhile, particularly in the cases of reproductive mother-child health, a number of faunal resources are also used by them. Thus a number of locally available plant and animal resources bear a special resemblance in the context of their traditional medical practices. It has the prime objective to reveal the relationship between traditional cultural practices, environmental resources and indigenous knowledge of the healthcare system among the Karbi people.
土著知识与民族医学作为有效治疗来源——对Karbi Anglong Karbis的研究
部落人民的医疗保健系统与他们的宗教信仰密切相关,伴随着灵魂、精神和神的干预。他们的日常生活依赖于许多自然资源。在这方面,有关人士的传统保健做法值得特别关注。目前的研究是在阿萨姆邦Karbi Anglong的Karbi部落群体中进行的。卡尔比人对不同的超自然力量及其对健康的影响有着强烈的信仰。与此同时,特别是在母子生殖健康方面,她们还利用了一些动物资源。因此,一些当地可获得的植物和动物资源在其传统医疗做法方面具有特别的相似之处。它的主要目标是揭示传统文化习俗、环境资源和卡尔比人对医疗保健系统的土著知识之间的关系。
