The Daniel K. Inouye College of Pharmacy Scripts: Transition from Traditional to Western Medicine in Hawai‘i (Part 2) Western Legislative Impacts on Traditional Medical Practices

摘要

Part 1 in the March issue provided an overview of traditional medicine, the dramatic impacts of introduced diseases, and the introduction of Western medicine with its associated pharmaceutical practice. Not surprisingly, the conflict between traditional and Western medicine are reflected in the courts and laws of the five governments of the islands (monarchy, provisional, republic, territory, and statehood). Part 2 provides the pivotal laws regarding the practice of traditional medicine in Hawai‘i.
