家园 WHO definition

Traditional medicine refers to health practices, approaches, knowledge and beliefs incorporating plant, animal and mineral based medicines, spiritual therapies, manual techniques and exercises, applied singularly or in combination to treat, diagnose and prevent illnesses or maintain well-being.

Countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America use traditional medicine (TM) to help meet some of their primary health care needs. In Africa, up to 80% of the population uses traditional medicine for primary health care. In industralized countries, adaptations of traditional medicine are termed “Complementary“ or “Alternative” (CAM).

可见欧美国家,traditional是并到alternative里面的。orthodox是正统的意思,我想这个是历史文化的原因,其它的医学都是杂牌。conventional翻成常规更好? 虽然这个词是有传统这个意思。

我觉得,如果实在说不清,要不干脆就都用英语得了。
