Re-enfranchising the arts into the mission of human wellness

The battle among epochs, generations and world views orchestrated by the inevitable intraspecific com-petition among humans has resulted in fewer scientific solutions regarding what is and what should be allowed into modern approaches to health and wellness. In this qualitative study, the researchers inves-tigated the role of the Arts among humans and their wellbeing. They attempted to establish the innate health resources that creation has endowed all human beings with, though neglected in the quest for modernity with its over-the-counter mode of symbiosis. The results of this social engineering have been the rendering of intrapersonal healing inactive. This study, therefore, sought to establish the facts regard-ing how the ancients and the moderns used the power of the Arts towards the wellbeing of humans, the survival and preservation of the species prior to the commercialization of health. Data for the study were generated through texts that already exist in the public domain. Textual analysis was used as the method of analyzing data. The results of the study revealed that the recreative power of the Arts can play a vital role in wellness. They have demonstrated the correlation between the limbic system, recovery and suste-nance of the human species. It is hoped that the study will add to conscientization with regard to the anti-thesis of auto-immune destruction which is auto-immune recreation. Considering the study findings, this research, therefore, recommends that the ministry of health, particularly public health, should encourage health practitioners to supplement their modern scientific approaches with equally scientifically agreea-ble benefits of the Arts.
