Abstract

In the course of human evolution, ever since humans began to live in groups, a culture and civilization have been built within them. The word "culture" has also been used to denote the intellectual and aesthetic formation of a society. In the early stages, culture meant the formation of the mind or the shaping of the mind. The late 18th through late 19th centuries saw the emergence and development of various conceptions related to culture. Here, culture first means a general condition or habit in the human mind. And the artistic and intellectual process is also known as "culture" in general. Culture does not refer to a specific development or polishing of a society, but rather to the entire social tradition or social heritage. Diversity and differences among people are seen in two ways. That is, based on physical characteristics as well as innate heritage or culture. Man has an innate heritage as well as a social heritage. Whatever genetic endowment a man receives, he is raised in his family from infancy. He learns from his family's manners and customs. Here, he learns the traditional practices of the society and acquires knowledge through experience and living. Every human society has a culture and its own wealth of knowledge. This study emphasizes the indigenous medicine related to the intangible cultural heritage of Sri Lankan society.
