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. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e 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. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003e What others say \u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003e \"We have always known that divine law and scientific law are connected, and more important than just knowing it, we live it.
