No evidence has been forthcoming on the subject but it is believed that a form of traditional medicine utilizing naturally derived drugs must have been in use during this period. The discovery of a stone metate and roller used in drug compounding from the Dvaravati period, which predated the Sukhothai perod, lent support to this theory. Furthermore, a study of the content of the “Ramkamhaeng Stome Inscription” revealed that, during his reign, the King had ordered the establishment of a large medicinal plant garden atop Kao Luang or Ka Suppaya which now lies in the districyt of Kirimas, a Sukhothai province. The garden was to serve as a source of drugs for the remedy of ailments for his subjects.
