In ancient Siberia, shamanistic practices played a central role in healthcare. Shamans, believed to possess spiritual and healing powers, performed rituals and used chants, herbal remedies, and symbolic objects to diagnose and treat illnesses. They were seen as intermediaries between the physical world and the spirit world, addressing both physical and spiritual aspects of health through their practices.
