Regenerative Healing

Abstract

Indigenous health and wellness encompasses physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being, with a focus on "the interconnectedness of these aspects and the importance of community and cultural practices." "Regenerative healing," as distinct from "Regenerative medicine," is a similarly wholistic term that has emerged from conversations with selected First Nations and Métis Knowledge Holders from across Canada. Impact Statement Building trust with patients and the broader public who support health and medical research requires continuous engagement with the public. "Regenerative Healing" may be a more welcoming and more humble framework to launch the conversation.

Keywords: indigenous health; regenerative healing; wellness.
