Health Anthropologists are exploring links between disease patterns, health-related beliefs and practices, healing systems and cultural structures, social hierarchies, and biosocial linkages, amongst other things. Since both physical and socio-cultural variables affect an individual's and a whole population's health, health-related anthropologists tend to think of health as a "biocultural and biosocial phenomenon." Because of their customs, cultural beliefs, and traditions, indigenous people are more likely to engage in health-risk management than non-indigenous people. This paper has looked into the health and health-related practices in the past that have continued into the present. These activities have a direct effect on an individuals or groups health outcomes. By collecting and examining human remains and artifacts, anthropologists who study human history can only approximate what ancient medicine was like, as early Filipinos believed in a balance between natural and spiritual causes and treatments for diseases and maladies alike.
