Some churches bless pets, houses, boats, etc. Why not Medicines? - Especially on a Regular Basis, e,g. Weekly, As needed, etc.
Action - If you like this idea, ask your Religious Leader to Bless Your Medicines and Hope the Medicines DO indeed work better.
You might find it work better to have a Religious Leader bless your medicines, instead of yourself. Your Religious Leader probably has more Healing Power than you do.
By blessing medicine, what do you/we have to lose? Nothing?
And what might you/we gain? - Relief from Symptoms?
************************************************
I could find all kinds of blessings for all kinds of things, but not much for medicine, treatments, etc.
Could this be an overlooked Alternative/Complementary Healing (CAM) Modality?
Yet, It might be extra powerful, invoking both a Spiritual component, as well as a Placebo Effect Component - working in Unison!
God probably works in many ways - in the Medicine/Treatment itself and the Belief that the Medicine/Treatment will work....or even work better after blessing.
Might this work for the current Opioid Crisis ? - making Pain Medicine seem to work better and thus reduce medicine usage?
By blessing medicine, what do we have to lose? And what might we gain?
I wouldn't think doctors would have any ethical concerns, since the doctors wouldn't be doing the blessings. Of course, patients should advise doctors of what they are doing.
Wouldn't it be great if a Patient's Doctor participated in the Blessing Ritual?
Wouldn't this be a great Value-Added Option for Religious Based Hospitals, Clinics, etc.? Combining Faith Healing with Traditional Medicine, for those patients who are interested in this powerful combination.
