Kind regards, Your Birgit Moukom Determining your constitution: The three doshas It is a fascinating experience what our heartbeat, the coating and texture of our tongues as well as our physical appearance say about our true personality. This allows conclusions to be drawn about health, illness, likes and dislikes. According to the basic principles, the weighting and expression of the three doshas vata, pitta, and kapha are encoded at the genetic and biological level to define one of seven possible constitutional types. In the long run, it is not possible for us to live counter to our own original nature. And yet most of us are at war with our physical or mental faculties. We identify more with the dark side of our constitution Every human being has three forces at work inside them: the doshas. than with the potential that lies dormant within us. Vata embodies the principle of movement (also mental mobility); pitta is the fire and the Only by using and testing our strengths that match transformation power (digestion, enzymes); and kapha provides stability and firmness our type we will become aware of the unimagined (bones and lymph) in the body.

    Mexican-American Folk Medicine: Implications for the Family Physician Alan P. Chesney, PhD, Barbara L. Thompson, MD, Alfredo Guevara, MD, Angela Vela, MD, and Mary Frances Schottstaedt, MD Galveston, Texas, Tucson, Arizona, and Atlanta, Georgia Literature on Mexican-American folk medicine and on Mexican-American utilization of conventional medical serv­ ices suggests that folk medicine and utilization of conventional medical services are related. This study reports on interviews with 40 Mexican-American families randomly selected from the community. The results indicate that choice of conven­ tional medical care and/or folk medicine is dependent upon the symptom, that families often use both folk and conventional medicine, that they are more likely to seek medical help for anxiety than for depression, and that knowledge of folk medi­ cine is best acquired by asking about specific folk diseases.

The principal investigator gathered information about the treatment provided in Curanderismo and gained a deeper understanding of participants’ lived experiences during such healings. This study also aimed to understand how individuals made the choice to seek treatment with a curandero/a, as well as if a deeper understanding of such treatment could help the mental health field be better informed care providers to the Latino/a community. Phenomenological research methodology was used in efforts to grasp how the participants, as individuals, experienced Mexican Curanderismo. Through a semi-structured life world interview, data was collected from eight participants: four Curanderos and four non-Curanderos, both sets represented by two males and two females.

  • Healing the Body and Soul: Traditional Remedies for “Magical” Ailments, Nervous System and Psychosomatic Disorders in Northern Peru
    African Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology Vol. 4(9). pp. 580-629, September 2010 Available online http://www.academicjournals.org/ajpp ISSN 1996-0816 ©2010 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper Healing the body and soul: Traditional remedies for “magical” ailments, nervous system and psychosomatic disorders in Northern Peru Rainer W. Bussmann1*, Ashley Glenn1 and Douglas Sharon2 1William L. Brown Center, Missouri Botanical Garden, P.O. Box 299, St. Louis, MO 63166-0299, USA. 22328 Dolphin Dr., Richmond, CA 94804, USA. Accepted 9 August, 2010 Mal aire (bad air), mal viento (bad wind), susto and espanto (fright), mal ojo (evil eye) and envidia (envy) are seen as very common illnesses in Andean society. The Western concept of “psychosomatic disorders” comes closest to characterizing these illnesses. Treatment in many cases involves the participation of the patient in a cleansing ceremony. In addition, patients frequently receive herbal amulets for protection against further evil influences and for good luck. A total of 222 plant species belonging to 172 genera and 78 families were documented and identified as herbal remedies used to treat nervous system problems in Northern Peru. Most species used were Asteraceae, followed by Solanaceae and Lamiaceae. The majority of herbal preparations were prepared from the whole plant. In over 60% of the cases fresh plant material was used to prepare remedies, which differs slightly from the average herbal preparation mode in Northern Peru. Interestingly, only about 36% of the remedies were applied orally, while the majority was applied topically. Over 79% of all remedies were prepared as mixtures with multiple ingredients by boiling plant material either in water or in sugarcane spirit.
