Abstract

Traditional resources are used by local people in reliving different forms of illness. Such resources are not only produced and used but also cared for ethically, in a morally sustainable manner. This paper presents traditionally selected medical resources in Oromo that are present in the form of herbs, roots, vegetables and food items. The aim is to introduce the local medication system and help experiential exchange with other societies in Ethiopia and elsewhere. Oromo people are culturally vast and ethnically well-grounded as they have their own distinct system-Gadaa System- which has three forms of interchange. To Oromo, man is attached to God’s Law and abides by the existing social norm. An Oromo person also learns and acts to love and respect other members with due care and dignity. War or unwanted clashes are highly regulated and disregarded among Oromo society. Oromo people also share existing resources among themselves and others with kindness and ease of mind. The focus of this research, Oromo Traditional Medicine, is just a parcel of Oromo democratic and mutual beneficence.
