Midwives and Herbal Remedies: The Sustainable Ethnoscience

Midwives and Herbal Remedies: The Sustainable Ethnoscience

The traditional Malay practices of pre and postnatal care have been fascinating to help understand women’s health and reproductive role. Women within midwives and midwifery contexts made their status recognised back in the ancient practice. The ethnoscience methods about women’s health have been the centre of discussion way back in the Aztec, Mayan and Egyptian civilisations, yet the topic never gets exhausted. The ethnographic research on midwives conducted in Terengganu in the 1980s and other new literature provided a variation to the study of midwives. This article attempts to revisit the observation of midwives on herbal remedies and other healing processes after a gap of more than 30 years.
