Medicine for All: Science and Ancestral Wisdom

The article analyzes the paradox of modern medicine, which, despite enormous technological progress in treating pathologies, often overlooks the holistic dimension of health. The author points to the necessity of transitioning from a model of "repairing the body like a machine" toward understanding health as a dynamic relationship with the organism, other people, and the environment. A key element is the inclusion of social determinants of health and the distinction between treatment (Cure), care (care), and the process of regaining integrity (Healing). Referencing Geeta Maker-Clark's "Medicine Pouch" concept, the text encourages building a personal resource of practices and relationships that support psychological and biological resilience, rather than relying solely on wellness sector products or clinical interventions.
