Traditional Veterinary Healer
The traditional healers have played a definite role in animal treatment.As common to all countries, the dogma of superstition, beliefs, witchcraft, supernatural power etc has played a definite role. As time passed, the scientific methods were developed by contemporary workers and these faith healing and witch craft of traditional origin were blended with modern research. The same remedies were culled, re-tested and put up once again. It is interesting to take a note of such folk lore claimed healing practices in India.
