This study aimed to measure the impact of the alternative medical practices and their impact on the psychological state of the patients with remediless illnesses through a descriptive approach which was based on a deep observation of “Ibn Rochd” hospital (CHUIR) in Casablanca and its surroundings in addition to several random places where traditional healers operate. The researcher has divided the samples into three different categories: 30 patients, 10 medical staff made of doctors, nurses and assistants, and finally 10 traditional healers. Those samples were interviewed by the researcher according to their classification through a semi-directive interview. The analysis and interpretation of data have led to a positive impact of the traditional practices on the psychological state of the patients with remediless illnesses. The impact goes through three different phases: a detection phase, a vacillation phase and finally a revival phase
