Eliseo Torres, known as Cheo, grew up in the Corpus Christi area of Texas and knew, firsthand, the Mexican folk healing practiced in his home and neighborhood. Later in life, he wanted to know more about the plants and rituals of curanderismo.Torress story begins with his experiences in the Mexican town of Espinazo, the home of the great curandero El Nio Fidencio (18991939), where Torres underwent lifechanging spiritual experiences. He introduces us to some of the major figures in the tradition, discusses some of the pitfalls of teaching curanderismo, and concludes with an account of a class he taught in which curanderos from Cuernavaca, Mexico, shared their knowledge with students.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.From Curandero. . . for centuries, rattlesnakes were eaten to prevent any number of conditions and illnesses, including arthritis and rheumatism. In Mexico and in other Latin American countries, rattlesnake meat is actually sold in capsule form to treat impotence and even to treat cancer. Rattlesnake meat is also dried and ground and sprinkled into open wounds and body sores to heal them, and a rattlesnake ointment is made that is applied to aches and pains as well.

Interesting but Lacked Depth
While I enjoyed 'A Life in Mexican Folk Healing', I felt like it skimmed the surface on some important topics. It’s a nice introduction, but I expected deeper insights into the healing techniques. Worth a read if you're curious, just don’t expect too much detail.

Not What I Expected
I was a bit disappointed with 'A Life in Mexican Folk Healing'. It arrived with a dented cover and took longer to ship than expected. The content was interesting, but the experience was marred by the shipping issue. Hopefully, they can improve packaging next time.
