# Natural Healer Society

illness, pain, misfortune and death are realities we must all confront and cope with in some way or another. Healers specialize in relieving suffering; folk healers don’t follow rules mandated or authorized by religious or medical institutions.

 Women dominate folk healing due to cultural traditions dictating that issues of fertility and childbirth fall to women as experts on these matters. Women wield this power effectively.

 

## Origins

 People everywhere must face illness, pain, misfortune, death and decay as part of everyday life. Most cultures recognize these realities and employ different techniques for dealing with them – among them folk healers who do not fall under the purview of religious or medical institutions and can provide their services free of charge or certification or training requirements. Healers may be male or female professionals and specialize in different methods to alleviate suffering.

For instance, medicine men from the Pacific Northwest employ prehistoric shamanistic traditions which involve fasting, singing and using grizzly bear claws to drive away evil spirits from patients. Meanwhile in Indonesia dukun healers utilize Islamic worldview and techniques for their rituals, while during healing sessions they focus their intention and attention solely on helping ill individuals recover by invoking Allah’s “omniscient healing radiance”.

 Healing professionals in many cultures are seen as possessing an honorable calling that must always be obeyed, particularly female healers who often hold responsibility for childbirth and postpartum care in many societies. Furthermore, women’s bodies are seen as conduits for spirit energy that should be treated with great respect; texts like the Trotula provide support for women as healers from Salerno in Italy that detail these practices.

 Other traditional healing roles for men and women across various cultures:

Healers may provide assistance for fertility issues or dispel fears or anxieties while connecting a person to his or her higher power. Multigendered healers from Mescalero Apache culture are thought to possess both male and female spirits entwined within one body that allow them to see all aspects of a person’s life from this unique viewpoint.

 

## Functions

 Natural healers provide treatments for both physical (lethargy, allergies) and psychological ailments (stress, anxiety). Healers understand that illness has many possible sources; germs, sorcery, lack of practical precaution (like wearing inappropriate clothing), taboo behavior by an ancestor, or angered spirits could all play a part in one becoming sick. Women tend to play an essential role as primary caregivers for children while possessing knowledge on fertility matters and frequently serve as folk healers.

 Natural healers occupy an intermediary position within society as they focus on aspects of life that are both uncontrollable (like death and decay) and messy (bodily effluvia).
