| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Since the 1990s, folk healers have formed healers’ groups in northern and northeastern Thailand. In the process of making these groups, they often cooperate with other institutions and people under particular social and geographical conditions. Joining the various activities of such healer groups, the healers have revitalized their healing practices and have again begun to play a role in people’s healthcare in their local communities.
Today, some healers have received certification as folk healers or a license in medical practice in Thai traditional medicine. They seem to be officially recognized; however, their practices are restricted and differ from the ones they use to treat people in the local community when they participate in public healthcare services.
