Healing Songs

Sacred songs used by healers to cure illness and restore balance.

Aboriginal healers use specific songs to diagnose and treat illness, which is often understood as spiritual imbalance. These songs call upon ancestral power to restore health, remove foreign objects from the body, or counteract sorcery.

The healing song calls the spirit back to the body where it belongs.
