Alternative medical systems based on practices of local sociocultural groups are called ethnomedical systems.
What is the difference between biomedicine and ethnomedicine?

This includes the procedure for seeking medical attention that is culturally acceptable and the indications and symptoms of sickness that are culturally specific and cause worry for health.
