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 The Handbook of Curanderismo: A Practical Guide to the Cleansing Rites of Mesoamerican Shamans and Curanderos, you will discover more about this ancient practice, with chapters that include:

Instructions for the practice of shamanic cleansing ritualsDifferent types of limpia ceremoniesSacred stories behind limpia ritualsTreatments for the head and neckCuring ailments of the gutAlleviating rheumatism and arthritisHealing of infectionsTreatment of cancerAnd 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.
