What Is Medicine?

Welcome to the first episode of Season 2 of The Wandering Below: Messages of Healing for an Unbroken World. With this season’s focus being on what we mean by “healing” and “unbroken,” the question “what is medicine?” is really just a starting point for a much broader conversation – and truthfully this episode barely scratches the surface of all there is to explore on the subject. 

Join us as we talk through the etymology of “medicine” and “health,” the four bodies or levels of being, and the seven medicines of the Wise Earth Tradition.

For reference, the four levels of self are:

1. Physical

2. Mental

3. Emotional

4. Spiritual

And the seven medicines are:

1. Serenity Medicine

2. Story Medicine

3. Energy Medicine

4. Lifestyle Medicine

5. Herbal Medicine

6. Pharmaceutical Medicine

7. High-Tech Medicine

We’re taking the podcast in a new direction with more of a teaching format, and we hope the information shared in today’s episode, the remainder of Season 2, and beyond serves you and supports your wellbeing.
