Medical healing methods programme for aboriginal children
A special programme to transmit the medical healing methods and knowledge about medicinal plants of the aboriginal community to the children of the Aboriginal Community has been launched.
Under this programme the Elders of the Aboriginal community world be encouraged to impart their knowledge to their young ones. Apart from this, action will be taken to record data about medicinal plants and the bio diversity, a press release by the Ayurveda Department said.
The Aboriginal Community will also be educated about the medicinal plants of economic value so as to encourage them to cultivate them and earn an income by arranging marketing facilities. The Cultural Affairs Ministry also conducted a research in this regard at the Nawinna Bandaranaike Memorial Ayurveda Research Institute.
