Alternative medicine in Mexico an age old art!

It's not possible for everybody to practice alternative medicine in Mexico.

Community-based health care practices are varied like other health care specialists; community-based healers may use alternative treatments like naturalistic, personalistic, energetic explanatory models or a combination. Traditional midwives and herbalists and nowadays, practical weight loss specialists are probably the best known alternative medicine practitioners.

Some medicine people are also shamans, in which case they are often distinguished as holy men and women.

In contrast to professionalized practitioners, these healers often do not have set locations such as offices or clinics for delivering care but do so in homes, at ceremonies, or even right where they stand. Healing of the personalistic variety does not require that practitioner and patient is in each other's presence. Prayers or shamanic journeys, for example, can be requested and administered at any time, and charm cures are sometimes delivered by telephone.

Experienced staff at the Mexican pharmacy may provide you information about these healers. Mexican Pharmacy is always there to help you out in case some problem arises.
