Indigenous Medicine

Indigenous medicine refers to the traditional healing practices and knowledge systems developed by Indigenous peoples around the world. These practices often involve the use of native plants, natural remedies, and spiritual rituals to promote health and treat illness. Rooted in a deep understanding of the local environment and cultural beliefs, Indigenous medicine emphasizes a holistic approach to wellness, considering the physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of health. It varies significantly among different cultures but often values community, connection to nature, and ancestral wisdom. Today, there is growing recognition of its role alongside modern healthcare.
