A medicine man or medicine woman is a traditional healer and spiritual leader who serves a community of Indigenous people. Individual cultures have their own names, in their respective Indigenous languages, for the spiritual healers and ceremonial leaders in their particular cultures. Medicine men today are frequently called upon by traditional thinking Native Americans. The medicine man helps provide them with interpretation of illness and is sanctioned to conduct ceremonies required for strength, renewal and protection.
Western medicine and traditional medicines are frequently used in Native American homes. Over 60% of western medicines are derived from traditional Native American apothecary knowledge—using indigenous plants for wellness and balance, continues today in many Native American homes.
