"The Latino folk pharmacopoeia is one of the largest and richest on earth. Drawing on a centuries-old culture of healing traditions, informed by a deep reverence for history, this marvelous resource gives a vivid, balanced look at Latino folk medicine as practiced across America. Inside you will meet the lay healers, curanderos, who prescribe for the sick, visit the botanicas that sell hundreds of medicinal plant products, and learn all about the folk remedy tradition, including how ginger can soothe an upset stomach; anise keeps colic under control; kalallo bush treats the common cold; and embauba works as an astringent on dry skin." "Each botanical profile lists the scientific and common names, where the plant is grown and its physical characteristics, traditional uses, availablility and dosages, and contraindications and special precautions. It is important to note that herbs should be taken only after consulting your physician."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Latina Healers casts new light on the centrality of gender and migration status on the lives of Latina women. Encompassing the idiosyncrasies of individual decisions and the social context of the healers' lives, this book presents an original analysis of the relationship between gender, power, religious beliefs and social status. It brings the scholarship on life narratives together with understandings of the impact of migration and traditional beliefs on the lives of these women. Heralding women not as passive victims of social forces, but as active and creative agents of their lives, the book's findings are valuable for mental health practitioners, feminist scholars, and all interested in the lives of Latinas."

Healing with Herbs and Rituals is an herbal remedy-based understanding of curanderismo and the practice of yerberas, or herbalists, as found in the American Southwest and northern Mexico. Part One, "Folk Healers and Folk Healing," focuses on individual healers and their procedures. Part Two, "Green Medicine: Traditional Mexican-American Herbs and Remedies," details traditional Mexican-American herbs and cures. These remedies are the product of centuries of experience in Mexico, heavily influenced by the Moors, Judeo-Christians, and Aztecs, and include everyday items such as lemon, egg, fire, aromatic oil, and prepared water. Symbolic objects such as keys, candles, brooms, and Trouble Dolls are also used. Dedicated, in part, to curanderos throughout Mexico and the American Southwest, Healing with Herbs and Rituals shows us these practitioners are humble, sincere people who have given themselves to improving lives for many decades. Today's holistic health movement has rediscovered the timeless merits of the curanderos' uses of medicinal plants, rituals, and practical advice.

Filling a gap in the current literature, Latinx Healing Practices: Psychospiritual Counseling Interventions convenes the voices of Latinx psychologists and Indigenous spirituality practitioners to provide future and current mental health professionals with a greater understanding of Latinx spirituality, healing traditions, worldviews, and experiences. Armed with this knowledge, readers are equipped to provide their clients with counseling and interventions that are at once culturally aware and highly effective. Section I provides an overview of specific healing practices, with emphasis on the practice of prayer, and the role of visionary experience within Latinx spirituality. Section II features personal, narrative, and qualitative stories of transformation, including stories of collaboration between curanderas/os and psychotherapists, Mexican migrant farmworkers' narratives on adversity, spirituality, and coping, and more. Section III addresses ethical standards, the importance of inclusion of Latinx spiritual models of practice when preparing professional counselors, and recommendations for the integration of spirituality and applied practice in education and training. Latinx Healing Practices: Psychospiritual Counseling Interventions is part of the Cognella Series on Advances in Culture, Race, and Ethnicity. The series, co-sponsored by Division 45 of the American Psychological Association, addresses critical and emerging issues within culture, race, and ethnic studies, as well as specific topics among key ethnocultural groups.

In compelling first-person accounts, Latinas speak freely about dealing with serious health episodes as patients, family caregivers, or friends. They show how the complex interweaving of gender, class, and race impacts the health status of LatinasÑand how family, spirituality, and culture affect the experience of illness. Here are stories of Latinas living with conditions common to many: hypertension, breast cancer, obesity, diabetes, depression, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, dementia, ParkinsonÕs, lupus, and hyper/hypothyroidism. By bringing these narratives out from the shadows of private lives, they demonstrate how such ailments form part of the larger whole of Latina lives that encompasses family, community, the medical profession, and society. They show how personal identity and community intersect to affect the interpretation of illness, compliance with treatment, and the utilization of allopathic medicine, alternative therapies, and traditional healing practices. The book also includes a retrospective analysis of the narratives and a discussion of Latina health issues and policy recommendations. These Latina cultural narratives illustrate important aspects of the social contexts and real-world family relationships crucial to understanding illness. Speaking from the Body is a trailblazing collection of personal testimonies that integrates professional and personal perspectives and shows that our understanding of health remains incomplete if Latina cultural narratives are not included.
