Along the years I've collected a couple of things I hold dear to me. So I've decided to place them into a Native American medicine bag.

A medicine bag is an ancient item that spiritually represents the person who wears it. It traditionally has several items that the wearer finds as holding magical powers. It most often holds things such as stones, roots and barks, herbs, feathers or wood from a tree struck by lightening. Medicine items attributed with various abilities for the bag would often be procured in a tribal custom known as a vision quest.  Typical powers ascribed to medicine bags and their items include increasing hunting abilities, aiding fighting skills, healing allies, hindering enemies and altering the weather. Many warriors carried a bag around the neck. They contained items that would remind the warrior of home, of where he came from. No person, apart from the owner, was allowed to look inside this bag. When the owner died, they were buried with it.

So I can't tell you what is in the bag... However, what I can  tell you is that modern medicine is finding more and more proof of the powerful healing ability of the psyche. We modernly call it placebo, and the reverse of it nocebo. The medicine bag is of course magical because it nurtures the soul which in turn heals the body. It acts by turning on the parasympathetic nervous system and thus releasing healing hormones like oxytocin, dopamine, nitric oixide, endorphins and enabling our body's natural self repair mechanisms.
