Native American Medicine

Native American medicine encompasses traditional healing practices rooted in spirituality, natural remedies, and communal rituals. It emphasizes harmony between mind, body, and spirit, often involving herbal medicines, prayer, ceremonies, and connection to nature. Healers, or medicine people, guide individuals through these practices to restore balance, promote wellness, and address physical or spiritual ailments. These practices are deeply tied to cultural beliefs and local ecosystems, serving as both medical and spiritual care. While distinct from Western medicine, Native American healing emphasizes holistic health, respecting the interconnectedness of all life.
