"The traditional medicinal treatments are carried out by mor muang, a local name for those the villagers call sages, who make medicines from herbs and plants according to formulas passed down since generations.
In Phrae, such medicine textbooks - written on bailan (dried palm leaves) over 100 years ago - were preserved in Wat Phra Luang's sacred library museum. Sung Men district's oldest mor muang is Jamnong Maenya, 76, who lives in tambon Phra Luang. "
It seems to me that it is only common sense to bring all resources to bear on medical challenges unless their is a hidden agenda not related to health.
