From the Philippines comes the healing art of Ablon/Hilot Manual Medicine, which is an ancient, indigenous, spiritually-based healing art that has been passed down to Virgil M. Apostol from his ancestral bloodlines of traditional healers, as well as from master practitioners of Philippine martial arts. His practice involves the evaluation, treatment, and care for patients dealing with issues on physical, mental, and spiritual planes. Ablon is based on natural laws governing the human body by using spiritual, physiological, psychological, and mechanical methods.
