Curanderos often incorporate rituals, prayers, and the use of natural ingredients like plants and minerals, guided by cultural beliefs and traditions. They play a significant role in their communities by providing holistic care and preserving ancestral healing practices, often bridging the gap between modern medicine and traditional wisdom. Their approach emphasizes the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit.
