Another great web site that discusses the use of the Medicine Wheel with patients in Primary Care settings. It is worth reading.

This paragragh from the article is a nice summary:

"Imbalance and Symptoms
Imbalance within the Wheel causes disorder and unsettles a person's life; causes unwellness and ill health; and causes symptoms. Thus, in my experience, the Medicine Wheel achieves its greatest clinical utility with patients who present with chronic complaints without objective historical, physical, or laboratory evidence of pathology. Patients who have vague complaints, symptoms related to multiple organ systems, frequent visits, thick medical charts, numerous consultations, and numerous tests alert me to the possibility of imbalance in the patient's life."

Thank you Thunderwolf for this article. This article explains the medicine wheel better than I ever could. This is the center of our way of healing. And it can be used by all, not just the NAI.
