Taxonomy: Native American Traditional Healing

Programs that offer alternative treatments that are based on Native American tribal traditions about health and illness. Traditional healing is holistic in nature, comes from the tribe's beliefs about how individuals fit in the web of life, generally focuses on restoring harmony and connectedness to universal powers and may involve sweat lodges, talking circles, ceremonial smoking of tobacco, shamans, herbalism, animal spirits, or "vision quests". Each tribe uses its own techniques. The techniques by themselves are not "traditional healing". They are only steps towards becoming whole, balanced and connected.
