A practitioner of traditional Samoan medicines. In Samoa, it has been observed that rarely Samoan medicine fails "Samoan sicknesses", which brings out the saying "Samoans have medicine for Samoan diseases". The saying is meant to imply that new foreign diseases are the problem in modern Samoan medical times.
The islands of Samoa [including the Nation of Western Samoa] for the last 1000 years in their history, "do not" account a wide spread epidemic originating from any parts of their region from hygienic irresponsibility, even during civil and international war, a medical claim that can not be awarded to many national histories.
In 1961 and 1962, several overseas medical companies came to inquiry about Samoan medicine, mostly interested in the variety of anti-inflammatory components, with some looking to make a "quick profit" on the possible production of a single well selling over-the-counter drug.
Traditional medicine in Samoa is still a "medical first treatment", before relying on hospital care. Samoan medicine has been interpreted as a Botanical Science, combining a variety of herbal extraction methods. A medical archive is online today of well documented medicinal plants in Samoa, which has been seen to be one of the best places in the Pacific, retaining historical medical recipe.
