CHAPTER ONE
1.1 Introduction
Medicine use in community has a multi-factorial influence (WHO, 2014) People often have rational reasons for using medicines irrationally. To correct such irrational use of medicines, health planners need information on irrationality being practiced so that appropriate, effective and feasible strategies can be chosen (Hardon et al., 2004). Desired changes in the use of medicines through an intervention can be brought about when it is based on evidence of its use in the community and the factors influencing it. Traditional medicine is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the sum total of all knowledge and practices, whether explicable or not, used in diagnosing, preventing and eliminating physical, mental or societal inbalances (WHO, 2003).
