Zuni traditional medicine
Zuni traditional medicine is a holistic approach rooted in spiritual and cultural practices, focusing on restoring harmony between mind, body, and environment. It involves rituals, ceremonies, herbal remedies, and offerings performed by shamans or healers to address health issues believed to stem from spiritual imbalances, ancestral influences, or environmental factors.
