This is a consequence of the connection between many pre-scientific medicines and religion, whereby many people resort to personal, domestic and popular medicines initially, because of the lack of any suitably scientifically trained staff. The environment, soil and climate, diversifies the various systems of pre-scientific medicine so that it is necessary to distinguish between those in arid zones, equatorial forests, cold climates and at great heights.</p><p>The study of pre-scientific medicines has great implications for scientific research. Vast areas of research are available just in drugs, whether of animal, vegetable or mineral origin. Then there are the physical treatments, attention to the five sense-organs (melotherapy, coreotherapy, chromatotherapy, osmatictherapy, gustative and tactile sensations) which involve provocation of reflexes and releases of hormones, which can explain the success of many pre-scientific medicines. Then there are interesting therapies based on the psychic factors such as occurs in possession worship, trances, dreams, stress and emotional shocks. Certainly pre-scientific therapies have their own curative efficacy that stems from the phenomena described above.</p><p>Pre-scientific medicines are no less important in the social field: the possibilities for information exchange between traditional and scientific medicine and the attempts to introduce pre-scientific medicines to other peoples who lack suitable scientific health assistance, because of the absence of enough technically trained personnel, make pre-scientific medicines extremely valuable.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":79260,"journal":{"name":"Social science & medicine.

The villages were visited as part of a social study of gynaecological patients attending A.B.U. Teaching Hospital, Zaria, to determine the availability and utilization of health care facilities. It was found that the majority of villagers had no ready access to orthodox health care facilities and, where such services existed, villagers used both orthodox and traditional systems. In the case of obstetric services, socio-cultural traditions and lack of education appear to affect adversely women's propensity to utilise obstetric care. It is demonstrated that an efficient obstetric service can gain people's trust so that they come to hospital more readily and so avoid complications in childbirth. The general picture presented, however, is one of deprivation. There is a lack of health services and those that exist are undermanned and ill equipped. Locally initiated cooperative enterprise indicates that an integrated approach to health care delivery would achieve good results in making health care facilities more readily available to the people. It was seen that it will be necessary to ensure a pure water supply, a good road system, educational and economic development, as well as more comprehensive health care coverage, if the general health status of rural dwellers in this region is to be raised.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":79260,"journal":{"name":"Social science & medicine.
