Klappentext

A transformative, in-depth guide to ancient shamanic healing practices and the power of medicinal plants by the creator and owner of Anima Mundi Herbals.

Among the ancient and vibrantly alive Indigenous traditions is curanderismo-the medicine traditions practiced in Central and South America. In this book by rainforest herbalist Adriana Ayales, you'll explore the rich healing practices of curanderos and learn how to identify and use powerful plants, herbs, fungi, and resins to assist with everything from cleansing rituals to emotional healing, spiritual protection, and enhancing physical vitality. You'll discover traditional plant medicines, along with detailed descriptions, medicinal uses, and rituals that can help you incorporate plant-based remedies and spiritual ceremonies into your life.

To curanderos, there's no distinction between nature and humans. Like many native medicine peoples around the world, curanderos believe that the origin of disease and imbalances is energetic... as is the healing process. Through understanding how to recognize patterns of illness and using plant-based treatments, you'll learn to heal on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level.
