Curanderismo is a traditional healing practice rooted in Latin American culture, particularly among Mexican and Chicano communities. It combines spiritual, herbal, and folk remedies to treat physical, emotional, and spiritual ailments. Curanderos, or healers, often use rituals, prayers, and natural ingredients to promote wellness and balance. The practice emphasizes the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit. Curanderismo often incorporates elements of Catholicism, indigenous beliefs, and local customs. It serves not only as a form of healing but also as a way to preserve cultural identity and community ties among practitioners and those seeking help.
