Indigenous Health and Wellness is a holistic approach to health that is deeply rooted in the traditional knowledge, cultural practices, and spiritual beliefs of Indigenous peoples. It encompasses a wide spectrum of practices aimed at maintaining and restoring balance within individuals and communities, often emphasizing the interconnectedness of all living beings, the land, and the environment. This approach includes not only physical health but also emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being, and it values the healing wisdom passed down through generations, which includes herbal medicine, ceremonial rituals, and connection to country. Indigenous Health and Wellness advocates for culturally respectful and sensitive care that aligns with the values, traditions, and needs of Indigenous populations.
