Abstract
Immigrant and ethnic minority groups have been accessing and practicing traditional healing since the days of slavery and colonialism, using healing practices such as animism, Ayurveda, Christian Pentecostal, Espiritismo, Maat, Orisha, Santeria, shamanism, Sidda, Spiritual Baptist, Voodoo, and many others to support their physical and mental health and well‐being. Research and practice in these areas are now becoming mainstream, for example yoga, acupuncture, and mindfulness. The connection between traditional healing and contemporary healing practices results in a unique blend of healing practices that constructs itself as a form of resistance and empowerment in the midst of marginalization, medicalization, and cultural imperialism.
