Folk and tribal medicinal practitioners (FMPs and TMPs) are possibly the most common traditional medicinal practitioners of Bangladesh. They do not need any institutional degrees or registration to practice. Their practice methods are extremely diverse and may include both phytotherapy and zootherapy. Most often, their therapeutic methods are orally transmitted from generation to generation. Consequently, study and documentation of their practices can yield valuable and new information on therapeutic uses of plants, animals and also occasionally, minerals.
