In many South African households, traditional healing is part of everyday life.

Remedies like rooibos, buchu, garlic, and prayer have supported generations. But can these practices co-exist with modern medicine? 

The short answer: yes — when approached with mutual respect. 

At Curo Health, we believe true care honours both evidence-based medicine and cultural context.

That means asking questions, listening to stories, and creating care plans that don’t ignore heritage. 

As we celebrate African Traditional Medicine Week, we encourage a shift from “either/or” to “both/and.”
