Q N/um tchai: the ceremonial dance of the!Kung Bushmen. (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. Watch as the Ju/’hoansi use prolonged dancing to heat the n/um or “medicine” that resides within their bodies. Once heated, this medicine passes from healer/dancer to patient. What role does stress in the form of sensory overload, disorientation, hallucination, dizziness, exhaustion and muscle spasm play in producing a healing effect? How might the healers be employing cross-resistance? Given the core principles of this healing tradition, where might we expect it to collide with biomedicine? How can these approaches be reconciled?
