    The Republic Act 8423 or Traditional and Alternative Medicine Act (TAMA)

    On the year 1992, Senator Juan Flavier from the Department of Health (DOH)
    implemented the Traditional Medicine Program through administrative Order No. 12.
    The program aims to promote and advocate traditional medicine in the Philippines. In
    1997, Republic Act 8423 or Traditional and Alternative Medicine Act (TAMA) have set
    the way for the production of alternative medicines from certain herbs proven safe,
    effective, and affordable. This Act also created the Philippine Institute of Traditional and
    Alternative Health Care (PITAHC) which the purpose is to “accelerate the development
    of traditional and alternative health care in the Philippine, providing for a traditional and
    alternative health care development fund and for other purposes”.

    In addition, according to Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS)


    website:The law recognizes the importance of traditional or alternative medicine in
    providing essential health care to the people. Despite the medical treatment provided by
    the Western countries which at most could not be afforded by Filipinos living below the
    poverty line, traditional medicine which has been passed from generation to generation
    has become significant in our health care system.
