Mindful Medicine Worldwide is a non-profit organization established in 2009, which seeks to bring long-term integrative health care to people of developing areas, domestically and internationally, by establishing and operating integrative health care clinics. Our professional volunteer practitioners provide medical services and healthcare education to our patients as well as create sustainable health practices by educating local lay people to be integrative health workers within their communities. Mindful Medicine Worldwide is rooted in a practice of mindfulness, education, research and training.
Mindful Medicine Worldwide has begun a new health clinic in Bhotechaur, Nepal. This project will supply the clinic with the supplies it needs to treat over 200 patients a week. Some patients travel 4 hours to receive treatments. Due to the high number of patients we are working to ensure that there are always enough supplies in stock.

Last April, Nepal was hit by a 7.8 magnitude earthquake. At the time, we had a volunteer on the ground. Fortunately, she and clinic staff were safe, as well as the villagers. However, the clinic itself caved in, destroying medical supplies as well as staff and volunteer possessions. Funds are urgently needed to rebuild the Chanauti clinic and replace equipment and supplies so that we may continue treating patients in need.

After discovering that many of the patients at our Bhotechaur clinic were walking 5 hours from a village called Chanauti, the head of the village has requested MMW volunteers be brought to the village. These villagers experience many ailments from working long hours in the fields, and find relief with acupuncture. We began by sending Amy Babb to Chanauti to see what the need was. Amy had to turn away patients because she simply could not stand-up anymore after treating over 30+ patients a day!
