Center for Traditional Medicine
Infusing the healing arts and sciences with
cultural wisdom since 1977.
For over 40 years, we have focused on the practical application of traditional medicine (and integrative medicine) in global public health. We provide clinical care, consult on program design and development, and conduct research using Indigenous sciences and methods with a feminist lens.

The Fourth World Journal (FWJ) is the world’s leading publication for ideas and analysis about and by writers from the world’s more than six thousand Fourth World nations.
Volume 25, Number 2 (2026): Fourth World Journal
This special issue of The Fourth World Journal is devoted to women’s traditional medicine as a vital source of knowledge, practice, and resistance. Bringing together healers, activists, scholars, and artists from across global Indigenous and diasporic contexts, this issue’s focus challenges dominant frameworks of health by foregrounding cultural, relational, and place-based experiences of health and healing. We read academic analysis, narrative, and creative expression, presented by a wide range of voices, practices, and geographies, that illustrate how women sustain and adapt healing traditions.
