Ang mga tradisyonal na paraan ng pagaling sa Pilipinas ay lubhang umaasa sa mga herbal na gamot, na siyang batayan ng pangangalaga sa kalusugan ng mga katutubo. Ang mga lunas na ito ay ipinamana sa pamamagitan ng mga taon at ginagamit upang gamutin ang iba't ibang uri ng sakit, mula sa simpleng karamdaman hanggang sa mas komplikadong mga suliranin sa kalusugan. Kinukuha ang mga ito mula sa malawak na kaalaman sa lokal na mga halaman. Sa kanilang mga ritwal ng pagaling, madalas na pinagsasama ng mga tradisyonal na manggagamot, na kadalasang tinatawag na albularyos, ang partikular na mga halamang mayroong sinasabing gamot na katangian gaya ng mga halaman, ugat, at mga puno. Upang mapalakas ang mga katangian ng mga herbal na ito na iniuugnay sa paggaling, ang mga gamot na ito ay iniinom sa iba't ibang anyo, gaya ng mga decoction, poultice, at infusions. Madalas itong pinagsasama-sama sa mga panalangin at seremonya.
