Curandero: A Life in Mexican Folk Healing

by EliseoCheoTorres (Author)

Synopsis

Eliseo Torres, known as "Cheo", grew up in the Corpus Christi area of Texas and knew, firsthand, the Mexican folk healing practised in his home and neighbourhood. Part personal pilgrimage, part compendium of medical knowledge, this moving book reveals curanderismo as both a contemplative and a medical practice that can offer new approaches to ancient problems.
