Traditional healing was widely practiced among Africans long before the arrival of European colonizers. Nowadays the centuries-old experience of traditional healing is in demand by Africans. According to the World Health Organization, about 80% of developing countries population are turning to traditional medicine in search of primary health care facilities. One of the first places in the list are African countries: still an overwhelming number of Africans (80% of the population) use traditional medicine to meet primary health care needs. WHO supports homeopathic, naturopathic, and many other traditional methods, it is in favor of greater use of them in modern health care. Policies for official and folk medicines interaction and education programs for traditional healers are elaborating in a number of African countries. Now conventional medicine finds a "second wind".
