Indigenous Healing Systems

Indigenous Healing Systems refer to the traditional practices and beliefs used by Indigenous peoples to promote health and well-being. These approaches often integrate spiritual, physical, and emotional elements, emphasizing the connection between individuals and their community, environment, and ancestors. Healing can involve herbal medicines, rituals, storytelling, and holistic therapies tailored to cultural contexts. Unlike conventional medicine, which often focuses on symptoms, Indigenous healing seeks to address the root causes of illness, fostering a deeper understanding of health as a state of balance and harmony within a person's life and their surroundings.
