Many traditional indigenous medicines and healing practices were discouraged with the advent of Western medicine, but there is now a movement to return to traditional methods (Zubek , 1994, p. . Modern Western medicine treats symptoms to cure a disease condition when the body is out of homeostasis. Native American healing traditions also do this with herbs and plants suited for this purpose. These indigenous healing traditions also include sacred rituals, chants, and cleansing rites to help restore balance to the mind and spirit of those afflicted. In fact, it is about treating the person as a whole, and not just the disease. A blend of these two healing practices could result in better prognoses for today's patients. The purpose of this article is to show the perspectives of medical practitioners and their patients regarding Native American healing traditions. He also talks about a hot spring in Alaska, where participants will experience holistic healing in mineral springs and the success they have had using this form of healing process. A study was carried out in Canada by sending a 2-page questionnaire to 125 licensed physicians. . The goal was to demonstrate their knowledge of Native American healing traditions and their willingness to cooperate with healers when treating their patients. A total of 79 (63.2%) of the questionnaires were returned (Zubek, 1994, p. 1925). Questions included whether physicians approved of their patients seeking healers in different clinical settings (i.e., for health maintenance, minor and chronic illnesses, outpatients and inpatients, visits to intensive care units and palliative care), for the prescription of traditional medicine, which should be responsible for the issuance of traditional paper...... middle of paper ...... there are still many obstacles to overcome, but it is an opportunity to help patients experience a sense of whole body wellness through the use of alternative medicines such as Native American healing traditions, and we hope that more doctors and patients will be willing to consider them as an acceptable form of treatment for their medical needs.Works CitedBook, PA, Dixon, M., & Kirchner, S.
