This is a qualitative investigation which uses data collected by documentary research and field study from secondary sources, participant and non-participant observation, structured interviews, unstructured interviews and focus-group discussions to address the three research objectives, which were:
1) to study the body of knowledge of the herbal remedies used for treating scarlet fever and meningococcal disease according to taxila pharmacopeia, 2) to study the ways to conserve herbs with properties of scarlet fever and meningococcal disease, and 3) to study patterns of transmission of local wisdom used for conserving herbs with properties of scarlet fever and meningococcal disease treatment. research findings indicate that the body of knowledge for traditional treatment of scarlet fever and meningococcal disease in Thailand is derived from the taxila pharmacopeia of ancient India, medicinal herbs are conserved in local gardens, and knowledge concerning their cultivation is transmitted among villagers and interested people.
