The indigenous
healers of the Maya such as the midwifes and bone
setters are specialized shamans who come to their knowledge
through dreams and/or initiation. Modern medicine has been slow to reach
the pueblos of the highlands of Guatemala. Even when it does, the
medicines are far too expensive for many Mayas, therefore the
traditional natural herbal remedies are often a good alternative. |
