Abstract

Throughout human history, food and medicine have been inseparable components essential to our well-being. Since ancient times, humans have been exploring their surroundings in search of natural resources for sustenance and healing purposes. This exploration extended to the realms of plants and animals as early humans sought to diversify their food sources and find remedies for various ailments and discomforts. The pursuit of vitality and longevity further motivated these early humans to experiment with whatever resources were available in their immediate environment. Through a process of trial and error, careful observation, and empirical reasoning, they consciously selected a wide array of biological materials to improve their health, alleviate pain, and address both physical and mental afflictions. This article provides an exploration of the diverse dietary practices which hold significance as ethnomedicine.
