"Healing with Herbs and Rituals" is an herbal remedy-based
understanding of "curanderismo" and the practice of "yerberas, " or
herbalists, as found in the American Southwest and northern Mexico.
Part One, "Folk Healers and Folk Healing," focuses on individual
healers and their procedures. Part Two, "Green Medicine:
Traditional Mexican-American Herbs and Remedies," details
traditional Mexican-American herbs and cures. These remedies are
the product of centuries of experience in Mexico, heavily
influenced by the Moors, Judeo-Christians, and Aztecs, and include
everyday items such as lemon, egg, fire, aromatic oil, and prepared
water. Symbolic objects such as keys, candles, brooms, and Trouble
Dolls are also used.
Dedicated, in part, to curanderos throughout Mexico and the
American Southwest, "Healing with Herbs and Rituals" shows us these
practitioners are humble, sincere people who have given themselves
to improving lives for many decades. Today's holistic health
movement has rediscovered the timeless merits of the curanderos'
uses of medicinal plants, rituals, and practical advice.
