Health, Politics, and You —a blog by the authors of A Return to Healing

I helped coin the term “Health Medicine” in 1992. Health medicine is a new style of healthcare that blends integrative, holistic, person-centered, and preventive perspectives into health care. Its highest expression is the “Healing Circle,” as we explain in chapters 7 and 8 of A Return to Healing. When you begin to understand Healing Circles, you’ll appreciate that it is possible to blend the wisdom of indigenous healing systems (or traditional medicine) with the wonders of modern biomedical science and technology.
