Abstract

The dominance of the modern biomedical paradigm in contemporary health discourse is rooted in materialistic ontological assumptions and an empirical-positivistic epistemology that focuses on measurable aspects, thereby reducing the spiritual dimension to psychological variables or ignoring it. Although several studies discuss the integration of spirituality in clinical practice, there has been no comparative epistemological analysis that systematically examines the ontological foundations and methods of knowledge validation between biomedicine and ṭibb al-Nabawī. This study aims to identify the ontological and epistemological assumptions of the biomedical paradigm, analyze the knowledge framework in ṭibb al-Nabawī, and formulate a non-reductionist conceptual model of health. This study is a philosophical-conceptual research with a critical, comparative, epistemological analysis of primary and secondary texts of ṭibb al-Nabawī, as well as philosophical literature and biomedical theory, using comparative-conceptual analysis techniques to examine the relationship between ontology, epistemology, and conceptions of health. The results show that the reduction of spirituality in biomedicine is a logical consequence of the limitation of reality to physical entities and linear causal mechanisms, which has an impact on the marginalization of the dimensions of meaning, value, and transcendent relations in the construction of health. In contrast, ṭibb al-Nabawī is built on a layered ontology and an integrative epistemology that recognize revelation, reason, and experience as sources of knowledge, so that health is understood as a relational condition that coherently encompasses physical, psychological, and spiritual dimensions. Conceptually, these findings offer an alternative framework for expanding the epistemic horizon of health studies and encouraging more reflective and critical cross-paradigm dialogue.

Abstract

The phenomenon of faith healing within Charismatic Christianity is gaining traction across religious contexts and creating tensions with evidence-based medical standards, particularly when claims of miraculous healings could influence therapeutic decisions. Although widely discussed in theology and the sociology of religion, interdisciplinary studies that systematically integrate the perspectives of suggestion psychology and public health ethics remain limited. This study aims to identify the psychological mechanisms that shape subjective experiences of healing and evaluate their epistemological legitimacy and ethical implications for public health practice. This study was designed as a critical integrative literature review with a constructivist-critical paradigm that combines discourse analysis and normative bioethics analysis. Data were obtained from clinical psychology journal articles, Charismatic theology studies, and public health ethics documents, which were analyzed using interdisciplinary thematic analysis techniques with selection criteria of conceptual relevance and academic authority. The results indicate that the legitimacy of healing claims is constructed performatively through testimonial narratives, the strengthening of charismatic authority, and the intensification of collective emotions, thereby creating therapeutic expectations. Suggestion mechanisms—including the placebo effect, affective regulation, social confirmation, and attribution bias—contribute significantly to perceived improvement, although they do not always correlate with objective clinical indicators. The analysis also highlights the epistemic risks of causal misattribution and the ethical risks of delaying medical intervention, reproducing misinformation, and exploiting patient vulnerability. It concludes that faith-healing claims serve more as constructions of religious meaning than as clinical verification, necessitating institutional dialogue between religious communities and health authorities to protect public health interests without neglecting the spiritual dimension.

Abstract

The expansion of the global wellness industry over the past two decades has driven the integration of traditional medicine systems into the transnational health market, including Ayurveda, with Panchakarma as its core therapy. While numerous studies have addressed the commercialization of traditional medicine, few have specifically examined the epistemological transformation of Panchakarma as it has been relocated within the logic of the global wellness industry. This study aims to analyze the changing knowledge frameworks, forms of practice, and therapeutic authority structures of Panchakarma amid globalization and to formulate its conceptual implications for the study of traditional medicine and health economics. The study employs a critical qualitative approach through a systematic review of scientific articles, policy documents, classical Ayurvedic texts, and promotional materials from international wellness centers from 2000–2025, analyzed using a critical discourse analysis framework based on Norman Fairclough’s perspective. The results show that Panchakarma has undergone an epistemological redefinition, moving from a holistic therapy based on tridosha cosmology and individual diagnosis to a standardized detoxification package fragmented into separate procedures such as oil massage, herbal steam, and cleansing therapy without a traditional diagnostic framework. The process of scientification and medicalization places these practices in biomedical terms—for example, detoxification, immunomodulation, and stress reduction—to gain scientific legitimacy, while simultaneously producing the commodification of knowledge and shifting authority from vaidyas to corporatized wellness institutions. This transformation emphasizes that the globalization of wellness is not simply expanding access but reconstructing therapeutic epistemologies through mechanisms of standardization, markets, and regimes of scientific truth, with important implications for the relations of knowledge, power, and economics within traditional healing practices.

Abstract

The integration of meditation practices into contemporary psychiatry reflects a shift from a reductionistic biomedical model to a more holistic approach to mental health. However, the epistemological transformation of Buddhist practices such as Vipassanā into a secular-psychological framework still leaves conceptual and methodological problems that have not been critically and comprehensively examined. This article aims to systematically analyze the epistemological transformation of Vipassanā from a soteriological framework to an evidence-based clinical paradigm, evaluate the level and quality of its clinical validity in the treatment of depression, anxiety, and stress, identify the underlying psychological mechanisms, and formulate challenges for its integration into psychiatric practice. The study used Critical Interpretive Synthesis with an inclusion-exclusion protocol for empirical articles and international meta-analyses indexed in PubMed and Scopus for the period 2000–2025, which were analyzed using a thematic-critical synthesis approach. The results indicate the occurrence of normative reduction and conceptual recontextualization, primarily through the elimination of ethical-doctrinal dimensions of achieve empirical compatibility. Clinically, the majority of randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses report moderate and consistent effects on reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety, although heterogeneity in design and sample size limits generalizability. Identified mechanisms include improved attentional regulation, cognitive decentralization, decreased affective reactivity, and enhanced executive function and metacognitive awareness. Key challenges include excessive decontextualization, methodological inconsistencies, and ethical issues surrounding the appropriation of contemplative practices. These findings underscore the need for a reflective, integrative theoretical framework to strengthen interdisciplinary dialogue and enhance the rigor of evidence-based clinical implementation of meditation in psychiatry.

Abstract

The integration of traditional medicine into the formal health system in Indonesia encourages standardization, objectification, and biomedical-based legitimization that often clash with traditional Javanese healing knowledge rooted in experience, social relations, and local cosmology. Although health policies increasingly open up space for traditional practices, studies of how the epistemic boundaries between local knowledge and state medical rationality are negotiated in institutional practice remain limited. This study aims to analyze the mechanisms, dynamics, and implications of epistemic negotiations between traditional Javanese healing and state medical rationality within formal health services. The study uses a qualitative approach based on library studies and critical discourse analysis of academic literature, health policy documents, traditional medicine regulations, and medical and health policy publications in Indonesia. Epistemic negotiations occur through three mechanisms: first, conceptual hybridization, namely the effort to translate traditional healing practices and concepts into a biomedical terminology framework to gain institutional legitimacy; second, the process of classification and standardization through regulation, certification, and categorization of traditional practices that symbolically limit the epistemic space of local knowledge; Third, the discursive adaptation strategies of traditional actors who repackage healing practices to be compatible with modern health logic without completely abandoning community cosmologies and experiences. These findings suggest that the integration of healing systems is not merely a technical, institutional process but rather an arena of epistemic negotiation fraught with power relations, in which biomedicine functions as the dominant knowledge regime while still opening up space for agency and the reinterpretation of local knowledge.

Abstract

The dominance of the biomedical paradigm in the formal health system tends to marginalize indigenous health practices as irrational, despite their recognized effectiveness in certain socio-cultural contexts. However, studies on the epistemological structure of Baduy indigenous medicine and its relationship to modern medicalization are still limited. This study aims to analyze the knowledge system of Baduy indigenous medicine and identify the dynamics of its interaction with the modern health system. This study uses a qualitative approach based on critical ethnography, drawing on a systematic literature review of scientific publications, ethnographic reports, and related documents, which are analyzed using interpretive thematic analysis to uncover patterns of health knowledge, practices, and discourses. Baduy indigenous medicine has a coherent epistemological structure that integrates spirituality, cosmology, and ecological relations as the basis for diagnosis, therapy, and disease prevention. Diagnosis is carried out through reading bodily signs and imbalances in the human-nature relationship. At the same time, therapy includes healing rituals, the use of herbal remedies, and behavioral regulation based on customary norms. Spirituality serves as an operational framework that regulates health practices systemically, not merely symbolically. The analysis also reveals three patterns of relationships with modern medicalization: selective resistance to interventions perceived as disruptive to the customary order; pragmatic adaptation in specific cases, such as infectious diseases; and functional coexistence without full integration. These findings confirm that Baduy traditional medicine is a legitimate alternative health knowledge system and demonstrate the importance of recognizing medical pluralism in developing inclusive health policies.
