Abstract: This article analyzes the legal regulation of social relations in the area of traditional medicine on the level of constituent entities of the Russian Federation at the present stage. The author examines the normative legal acts with regards to traditional medicine on the federal and regional levels. A conclusion is made that federal legislation regulates a limited number of questions in the field of traditional medicine; thus legal regulation in this sphere is virtually delegated to the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. At the same time, legislation fundamentally differs from region to region, so is the legal status of the participants of legal relations. The scientific novelty consists in formulated conclusions on the need for amending the current legislation for the purpose of consolidation on the federal level of universal requirements to exercising activity by all subjects of traditional medicine. Such recommendations would allow ensuring unity of legal status of the subjects of legal relations in the area of traditional medicine throughout the Russian Federation.
