    Thai Traditional Medicine (TTM) has a long history reaching back for thousands of years. The pattern of TTM is formed by the precious experiences of understanding human life, maintaining health and fighting diseases using several traditional methods. TTM has a specific theoretical system with reference to the four elements of the human body, namely soil, water, wind and fire, and how to explain the mechanism of balancing them in order to maintain good functions of the human body and prevent diseases. In recent years, TTM, used together with modern medicine, has gradually become an important component of healing. The knowledge of TTM should always be treasured by Thai people as their intellectual property. Thus, it is extremely important to maintain research and development of Thai Traditional Medicine.
