Sacred Healthcare
From dedicated Nemenhah Doctors and ordained Nemenhah Pehli to certified Native American Practitioners with their natural healing specialties, Natural Medicine has always comprised a major part of the practice of the Sahaptan Healing Way.
WHAT IS NATURAL/ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE?
Within modern Nemenhah culture, Naturopathic Medicine (the primary field of healthcare within Natural Medicine) is a distinct primary health care profession, emphasizing prevention, remediation, and optimal health through the sustainable application of non-invasive, non-medical therapeutic methods and substances that enhance the body’s intrinsic ability to heal.
We Nemenhah acknowledge many fields of Natural Medicine: Traditional Naturopathy (Naturopathy) and General Sahaptan Physiopathy (GS Physiopathy). The practice of Traditional Naturopathy includes modern and traditional, scientific, and empirical methods and modalities focused primarily on lifestyle reform, nutrition, and sustainable herbal and mineral remediation of sub-acute conditions and illnesses. The practice of GS Physiopathy includes traditional naturopathic methods and modalities in addition to various indigenous modalities of physical medicine originating from a distinct Sahaptan (Nemenhah) heritage.
WHAT IS "NEMENHAH MEDICINE?"
Nemenhah Medicine incorporates and enhances the strictly secular practice of Naturopathic Medicine with ancient indigenous spiritual philosophies and religious practices that have been handed down through the oral and written traditions of the “Ahkehkt” family bloodline, a distinct Native American heritage and the foundation of Nemenhah Religion (the Sacred Sahaptan Healing Way), which emphasizes the intrinsic power of transformation and sacred Emergence found in all people for the betterment and sustainable health of the Individual, the Family, the Community, Society, and the Planet.
Supported by generations of traditional indigenous healing modalities and sacred disciplines, the Nemenhah Practitioner of the Sahaptan Healing Way firmly asserts that health of the mind, the body, and the spirit are irrevocably intertwined and that the power to both heal and be healed through the boon of modern science, miraculous faith, and the sacred restoration of ancestral knowledge to modern times are divine gifts of the Creator to all people.
