As cited in meor ahmad nizam 2003 said that traditional medicine is a science or practice in medicine and healthcare, which has been going on for generation to generation.. It is imparted thru the verbal and written forms as well as, thru the practiced and belief of a community. This science is diveided into two aspect that are sopiritual and empirical.

2.1 Link between traditional and modern medicine
Actually Traditional and modern medicine share a commong resources. They both utilize plants, animal, microorganism or minerals. These resources may be found either on and or in the sea.
As cited in Haliza 1996 said that the traditional medicine and modern medicine originates resource from similar raw reasources. These may be dried herbs or parts of plants, animals, the extract of which is used in treatments. In traditional medicines, these ingredients are eaten directly or boiled to extract the active chemical compounds in concentrated form. Malaysia the developing country is rich with the natural herbs resources inhabited inside the rain forest stand especially in meranti forest stand.
Traditional and alternative medicines in Malaysia appear to be finding appreciation by some modern practitioner, as they seek to understand their patient’s expectations and treatment seeking behavior. A clinician provides hid own interface with colleagues to determine their assessment of the alternative herbs medicinal treatment services used by country mu’alij who utilize both traditional and modern health care despite professional misgivings. It is clear that patients have their own reasons for doing so.

The production of traditional medical herb products in Malaysia has taken on such vital, clinically and economically that the government has established guidelines for safety pertaining to appealing and challenging with its strong economic and treatment implication.
