Pangbatak is a traditional healing practice in the Philippines, wherein the word “pang” means to touch or to strike and “batak” means to press or knead. It is a traditional healing guide practiced in barangays without easy access to hospitals or modern medicine as well as those who are suffering from financial difficulties and cannot afford medical expenses. The process consists of herbal medicines, massages, and spiritual security from the ancestors to assist the women in delivering the infant or adjust its position in the womb.
