What are themes that are common across cultures when it comes to healing?
Traditional East Asian medicine (such as acupuncture, shiatsu, and reiki), Indian systems of healthcare (such as ayurveda and yoga), and Native American healing practices (such as the sweat lodge and talking circles) all incorporate the beliefs that:
• Wellness is a state of balance between the spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional "selves.".
• An imbalance of forces within the body is the cause of illness.
• Herbal/natural remedies, combined with sound nutrition, exercise, and meditation/prayer, will correct this imbalance.
When you bring the body back into balance, it will work more effectively to heal itself of most of the maladies that occurred because of the imbalance.
