		magic and medicine - magic in Oriental medicine is not conjuring
		The line between medicine and magic is not as sharp a divide as one might think.

	The Coral: Magic & Medicine (2004): Reviews
		Magic and Medicine reveals a tightness of strong structure and definition of purpose (still all things '60s, but more folkie than psychedelic) lacking on the group's debut.
		Magic And Medicine's draggy Bob Dylan homage "Talkin' Gypsy Market Blues" shows the limitation of using old rock as window dressing, while the bulk of the disc presents a better-integrated fusion of varied hypnotic pop sounds.
		Magic & Medicine is hardly a record that will catapult The Coral to the next level; but at the same time, it's also far from being an embarrassment.

	The Ecology of Magic--David Abram
		The medicine person's primary allegiance, then, is not to the human community, but to the earthly web of relations in which that community is embedded--it is from this that her or his power to alleviate human illness derives.
		Shamanic magic is precisely this heightened receptivity to the meaningful solicitations--songs, cries, and gestures--of the larger, more-than-human field.
		It is a magical entity, the mind's own sensuous aspect, and at death the body's decomposition into soil, worms, and dust can only signify the gradual reintegration of one's elders and ancestors into the living landscape, from which all, too, are born.

	ORB: Magic Preliminary Discussion
		Despite their similarity to modern notions of magic, these are more examples of popular religion than anything else and their purpose is often to thwart demonic magic with Christian miracle, as evident in Saint Benedict's life and miracles.
		Thus, many practices that might seem, in a later age, to be magical in the sense of unscientific or unChristian were part of medieval medicine and liturgy, as practiced by male or female lay healers, physicians, barber-surgeons, as well as some monks, nuns, and priests.
		Magic is not therefore, a marginalized phenomenon in medieval society but is connected to a variety of aspects of medieval life and bears close study for what it reveals about the people of the Middle Ages.

	The gulf between magic and medicine may not be where we think it is
		Despite the derogatory connotation of the word "magic" when applied by physicians to traditional medicines, the idea that the concept is suggested as an explanation, however unjustified, set me to thinking about "magic" and how differently the term is perceived in the East and the West.
		The academics of medicine have successfully expunged the history of medicine and cross-cultural studies from our teaching institutions and so ensured that generations of physicians will never know the roots of their discipline's very existence.
		Germain was one of the premier magic performers and artists of the late 19th and early 20th century.

		On Magic and Medicine, Hoylake's the Coral call an end to the wild-eyed pirate pantomime, snip away at some of their most deranged edges, and confirm that there are great songs hiding beneath all the screaming and skulduggery.
		Contrary to the path trod by most groups, The Coral's second album Magic & Medicine is more reined in than their manic eponymous debut LP...and all the better for it.
		Whereas "The Coral" had strong connections to Syd Barrett and Captain Beefheart, Liezah on Magic & Medicine is indebted to early Simon & Garfunkel and Talkin' Gypsy Mountain Blues akin to Highway 61 Revisited era Bob Dylan.

	Myth, Magic, and Medicine
		The secret art of hemp medicine was found effective as a wound healer, muscle relaxant, pain reliever, fever reducer and an unparalleled aid to childbirth, not to mention hundreds of other medicinal applications.
		The Zoroastrian religion was based (at least on the surface) on the entire cannabis plant, the chief religious sacrament of its priest class, and its most important medicine, (e.g., obstetrics, incense rites, anointing and christening oils), as well as lighting of fire oils in their secular world.
		The papal ban on cannabis medicines in the Holy Roman Empire in 1484 was quite unenforceable north of the Alps, and to this day the Romanians, Czechs, Hungarians, and Russians dominate world cannabis agronomy.

	Magical Thinking in Complementary and Alternative Medicine (Skeptical Inquirer November 2001)
		Magic should be distinguished from supplication of a deity, as through prayer; but all scholars recognize that magical principles are intertwined with and complementary to religious ritual.
		This is the basis for the universal and timeless beliefs and practices involving notions of resemblance, falling under the general rubric of "imitative magic," and the principle that has most persuaded scholars to suggest that a basic mechanism of human cognition may be at work.
		In his widely reprinted essay "Folk Magical Medicine and Symbolism in the West," he discusses the ancient and well-known principles of similarity in medicine and refers to homeopathy as "analogic magic" (1980, 306).

	Magic Mushroom Medicine - Articles - David McCandless - Writer
		Thanks to a legal loophole that allows the sale of fresh, unprepared magic mushrooms, an estimated 300 vendors have sprung up across the country.
		But increasing evidence is suggesting that psilocybin mushrooms may be close to that Holy Grail of drugs: a harmless high - and, not only that, that they may also have a role to play in medicine, psychology and spirituality.
		But in the West, thanks to the legacy of LSD, magic mushrooms are more likely to be associated with madness than mysticism.

	Medicine Bags and Magic Pouches - Pagan
		Medicine bags as used by Native American shamen were actually quite large, carrying ritual masks, herbs and medicinal plants, ritual totems and more.
		In essence, if you want to make yourself a medicine bag, you need to make it large enough to hold whatever it is you wish to carry in it.
		A magic pouch might protect a deck of tarot cards when they aren’t being used, or you might assemble a special one that you can wear if you were doing magickal work for manifesting or for healing work.

	Harlem Hospital WPA Murals - The Murals: Magic in Medicine
		Charles Alston's Magic in Medicine is situated opposite his Modern Medicine, offering contrast and dialogue between traditional and modern healing practices.
		The sepia-toned Magic in Medicine incorporates a Fang reliquary sculpture, a type of ritual art piece from Gabon that was widely collected by Alston's contemporaries.
		The Fang sculpture, perhaps representing Africa, is juxtaposed in Modern Medicine to symbols of the West, such as the microscope, fathers of ancient Western medicine, and modern medical practitioners, nurses, and doctors.

		It's not as good as Magic and Medicine, but it has more of a rock and roll bite and I would have felt perfectly satisfied if I had bought it as a separate release.
		Accompanying "Magic and Medicine" is the bonus CD "Nightfreak and The Sons of Becker," possibly the weirdest title of the past year.
		And that is "Magic and Medicine"'s biggest flaw --they lost some of that sizzling intensity.

		It’s increase is primarily a result of modern medicine, despite its synthetic and "unnatural" chemicals and techniques, and overall improvement in diet, which has been achieved by farming techniques with heavy dependence on chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
		The failure of Western medicine today is that in its absolute pursuit of human knowledge, it has forgotten the fact of the immortal soul and the effects of Original Sin.
		In western medicine, the patient has become naked to science, and their personhood is often run over roughshod.

		Because Traditional Chinese Medicine and Pharmacology is unique to our Chinese nation, putting TCM into English has been the crux of the compilation and translation of this encyclopedia.
		That is, teachers of English familiar with TCM, professional medical translators, teachers or physicians of TCM and even teachers of palaeography with a strong command of English were all invited together to co-translate the Chinese manuscripts and, then, to co-deliberate and discuss the English versions.

		He considers magic the “whipped cream and cherry on top” of his patient encounters and offers it up whenever the timing and circumstances are right.

		The Balinese love a clear skin and they are disturbed by the prevalent skin diseases, from the ugly but harmless kurab, a skin discolouration produced by a parasitic fungus, to itches, framboesia, and tenacious tropical ulcers.
		The keystone of Balinese medicine is the principle of " hot " and " cold," irritating and refreshing, also applied to foods.
		The Balinese are helpless in the case of infected wounds, but it is always a means of breaking the ice with a foreign neighbour to ask for medicine for an infected cut covered with a greenish mess and wrapped in a dirty rag.

	Magic And Medicine \| The Onion - America's Finest News Source
		Early on, Magic And Medicine settles into a hushed, spooky mode, beginning with "In The Forest," a song constructed primarily of roller-rink organ beneath James Skelly's deep-echo voice, with traces of plucked bass, twangy guitar, cymbal splashes, and slow-stomp percussion interludes.
		The U.S. edition of Magic And Medicine throws in the band's Nightfreak And The Sons Of Becker, a quickie basement exercise that The Coral claims qualifies as its third album, while its label and managers claim it doesn't.
		The unfocused, off-the-cuff recording session must have been liberating after the painstaking craft of Magic And Medicine (and it produced at least one fine track, "Sorrow Or The Song"), but The Coral should find it more rewarding to tighten the ship back up for album number four.
