Indigenous Medicine at the Slave Lodge and Company Gardens

We will delve into the core of Indigenous Medicine—the rich healing practices and beliefs of indigenous peoples and ethnic groups in South Africa. A central theme is the Holistic Approach to health: understanding that healing goes beyond just treating a sickness. Indigenous medicine looks at the whole person—their mind, body, spirit, and their deep connection to community and environment.

We'll introduce key concepts like The Heart of Healing: Spirituality and Ceremony in South Africa and Healing Through Culture: The Power of Feeling Connected, emphasising the vital role of cultural context and spiritual well-being in the healing process.
