All ancient medicine has strong philosophical background and management varieties related to manual activities.

This paper recommends a methodology of research on the traditional practice of clinical care with the aim of achieving biological and clinical evidences, when herbal items are used. Suggestions are also given for a closer collaboration between the two traditional practices with different origins
