In countries where biomedicine developed from earlier medical knowledge, medical pluralism provides unusual cultural parameters and perspectives on biomedical epistemologies. Past therapy traditions, which are still salient in the biomedical system of West Germany today, are examined historically and ethnomedically. The Kur, now part of a complex system of rehabilitation medicine utilizing medical bathing and environmental stimuli, illustrates divergent ideologies in the contemporary German health care system. The influence of cultural, social, and political-economic factors on therapeutic eclecticism and directions are discussed as cultural dynamics of the biomedical system in general.
在生物医学由早期医学知识发展而来的国家，医学多元主义为生物医学认识论提供了不同寻常的文化参数和视角。对过去的治疗传统进行了历史和民族医学层面的审视，这些传统在如今西德的生物医学体系中仍然显著。库尔疗法如今是利用医疗沐浴和环境刺激的综合康复医学体系的一部分，它体现了当代德国医疗保健体系中不同的意识形态。文化、社会以及政治经济因素对治疗折衷主义及其发展方向的影响，被作为生物医学体系的一般文化动态进行了讨论。
