Curanderismo is a traditional healing practice rooted in Latin American culture, particularly among Mexican and Chicano communities. It combines elements of spirituality, herbal medicine, and folk remedies to address 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, recognizing that illness can stem from various sources, including emotional distress or spiritual imbalances. Curanderismo is often passed down through generations, preserving cultural heritage while adapting to contemporary health needs.
