Traditional Thai Medicine (TTM) is an officially recognized healing system alongside modern Western biomedicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine in Thailand today. Traditional doctors (mo boran or mo phaen boran), as defined by the government, are those "practicing the healing arts by means of knowledge gained from traditional texts or study which is not based on science." This definition stands in contradistinction to biomedical doctors, whose training is based on science.
Traditional medicine in Thailand is split into three disciplines: Spiritual healing, massage, and herbal/dietary medicine.
