shamanic healing
Tribal trance cure
Shamanic healing refers to spiritual practices performed by a shaman—a person believed to have access to the spirit world—intended to restore health or balance to an individual or community.
These rituals may involve altered states of consciousness, communication with spirits, and symbolic acts meant to address illness at a spiritual level.
The term appears in discussions of indigenous traditions and, increasingly, in alternative medicine contexts where practitioners claim to apply similar techniques.
She sought shamanic healing after conventional treatments failed.
