" A Handbook on African Traditional Healing Approaches &
Research Practices " is a rich collection of well-researched
articles on indigenous healing. These articles, from a broad range
of researchers, pertain to a broad range of communities. They
discuss healing practices in the realm of the spiritual, the
medicinal, nutritional and more. Some demonstrate a clear
relationship between modern and traditional medicine through
pharmacological analysis. The practical examples documented capture
the effectiveness of indigenous healing as practised by a large
number of societies.
That indigenous healing practices face the risk extinction is a
theme that runs through the contributions. Indeed, without
practical (and urgent) steps to preserve such knowledge for
posterity, future generations will not have the benefit of
time-tested knowledge such as this. The risk of loss of such
knowledge that has been passed down generations would be a major
loss to humankind. This collection, in part, addresses that risk
through systematic research and documentation.
What others say
" "We have always known that divine law and scientific law are
connected, and more important than just knowing it, we live it.
This book reaffirms our need to view life cosmologically." " - Kai
ner Maa Pitanta, Toronto, Canada
" "This book is a must read for anyone who believes that one can
blindly trust the foods we eat and the medicines that are
"supposed" to heal us. It is enlightening to know that there are
natural cures for most things and that we have had the answers to
many of our illnesses from the beginning of time." " - Natasha
Burford, University of Toronto, Canada
" "This work, in part, addresses the debate with respect to the
value of traditional healing practices. It is must read for
everyone concerned about the society's health, especially in the
face of documented limitations of western medicine." " - Matunda
