Summary
Details

Are you interested in learning about traditional Latin American healing? Are you fascinated by its history and how it relates to and can be used alongside modern medicine? This book is a practical guide that will help you understand it better!

Curanderismo has been practised in Latin American countries for centuries and has a rich and vibrant history along with a proven track record of healing. Using traditional medicines was once the only way of healing the sick prior to European discovery of the continent but, far from it being extinguished when Europeans arrived, Curanderismo has continued to flourish and hold an important part in society.

Inside the pages of this book, you will discover more about this ancient practice, with chapters that include:

Instructions for the practice of shamanic cleansing rituals Different types of limpia ceremonies Sacred stories behind limpia rituals Treatments for the head and neck Curing ailments of the gut Alleviating rheumatism and arthritis Healing of infections Treatment of cancer And much more...

Curanderos have long been feted within their Latin American communities but their powers are not limited to curing what can be seen. They are able to administer shamanistic and spiritistic remedies for mental, emotional, physical and spiritual illnesses as well, often using little more than simple herbs, water, or mud to affect cures.

If you are fascinated by Curanderismo and want to know how it fits in the modern world, get a copy and start now!
