Description

The practice of ""curanderismo"" or Mexican-American folk medicine is deeply rooted, both historically and culturally, in Mexican healing techniques. This book describes the practice from an insider's point of view, based on the authors' 3-year apprenticeships with ""curanderos"" or healers.
