Curanderismo & Dia De Los Muertos

The Nurses and Hypochondriacs Podcast

Curanderismo is the art of Mexican Folk Healing from the word curar, meaning to heal. A holistic approach to healing – mind, body, and spirit. In this episode, Dr. Eliseo (Cheo) Tores joins us to talk about Curanderismo and the Dia De Los Muertos holiday (The Day Of The Dead). Cheo also shares great tips on helping children and teenagers deal with anxiety and depression by using Guatemalan worry dolls.

Since he was a boy growing up on the border of Texas and Mexico, Eliseo Torres, known to everyone as “Cheo,” has been fascinated by the folk traditions and folkways of Mexico and of his Mexican American roots. Both of his parents were versed in aspects of herbal lore and healing, and as he matured he learned from them a love and respect for the history and folk knowledge of the ancient art of curanderismo, or Mexican folk healing. He has published seven books on his life and research on his subject area. Link to Curanderismo free classes https://www.coursera.org/learn/curanderismo-plants
