Folk medicine
As other countries of the East, in Uzbekistan traditional medicine has also ancient roots. This is testified by the works of great healer, Abu Ali ibn Sino (Avicenna), who was born not far from Bukhara (Afshona village). And it was him, who gathered some unique methods of treatment and curing, which, later on, formed the foundations of contemporary medicine. Like in contemporary medicine, in traditional medicine main role is allocated to establishing diagnosis. Folk healers do this by applying various means and methods: by checking pulse and blood pressure, by visual and manual inspection of relevant body parts, by identifying “mijoz” (i.e. patient’s propensity to certain type of food), etc.

Kalaripayat: Indigenous Martial Art Tradition of KeralaKalaripayat is considered one of the earlier martial art systems in Asia. Even though it had a larger geographic range at the time of its origin in South India, it is now restricted to the state of Kerala.Many terms are used in the literature to refer to Kalari including “Kalarippayattu,” “Kalaripayattu,” “Kalaripayat,” and so on. The term “Kalaripayat” will be used in this chapter. There are different theories regarding the origin of the word kalari. It is variously said to originate from the Sanskrit word khaloorika (“training ground”), the Tamil word kalam (“storage place for paddy”), or the Malayalam word kalari (“place where Kalaripayat is practiced”). Payatt or Payat may have originated from the Tamil word payil (“to become trained, accustomed, practice”) or the Malayalam words payiluka (“to learn, speak”), payttuka (“to exercise in arms, practice”), or payattu (“fencing exercise, a trick”). It may be noted that the original name of the martial style was “Payattu Kalari” and that the word “Kalaripayat” has only been used since the 20th century.Year2020NationSouth Korea
