Medicine is the science and art of healing humans. It includes a
variety of health care practices evolved to maintain and restore
health by the prevention and treatment of illness. Before scientific
medicine, healing arts were practiced along with alchemical and
ritual practices that developed out of religious and cultural traditions.
The term "Western medicine" was until recently used to refer to
scientific and science-based practices to distinguish it from
"Eastern medicine" � which are typically based in traditional,
story-told, or otherwise non-scientific practices.

Contemporary medicine applies health science, biomedical research, and medical technology to diagnose and treat injury and disease, typically through medication, surgery, or some other form of therapy. The word medicine is derived from the Latin ars medicina, meaning the art of healing.

Medicine history

Prehistoric medicine incorporated plants (herbalism), animal parts and minerals. In many cases these materials were used ritually as magical substances by priests, shamans, or medicine men. Well-known spiritual systems include animism (the notion of inanimate objects having spirits), spiritualism (an appeal to gods or communion with ancestor spirits); shamanism (the vesting of an individual with mystic powers); and divination (magically obtaining the truth). The field of medical anthropology examines the ways in which culture and society are organized around or impacted by issues of health, health care and related issues.
