| 1. Title: The traditional healer. Author: Makhubu LP Source: Kwaluseni, Swaziland, University of Botswana and Swaziland, 1978. 86 p. Abstract: Health care in Swaziland involves traditional and modern systems and, hopefully, their integration. The author goes into extensive detail about methods of acquiring the skills of traditional healing and suggests that written records on all aspects of traditional diagnosis and treatment of disease be compiled. Contrasts of the spiritual and medical perspectives of both systems in regard to diagnosis are presented. Methods of traditional treatment of disease are illustrated along with contexual ways of referring to diseases that are particular to Swazi culture. There is an appendix of medicinal plants of Swaziland.
