“…More recently, as NCCAM shifted to NCCIH, the focus on traditional and indigenous practices has shifted from the study of the whole medical system in practice to the incorporation of particular evidence-based practices with traditional Western medicine (Hoogasian & Lijtmaer, 2010;Xu & Chen, 2011). This has led to changes and additions to the nomenclature of complementary practices and medicines.…”

“…The platica session allows the curandero to review symptoms, discuss a person's history and beliefs about healing and spiritual change, and to describe lessons learned from the illness experience (Valdez, 2014). This narrative, story-gathering format enables the curandero to see which areas of the person's life are out of balance through a process termed an "opening of the many biological, psychological, and spiritual doors" or the 13 doors technique (Hoogasian & Lijtmaer, 2010;Kennedy et al, 2016). For example, if a patient were to seek a curandera for lingering symptoms as a result of a scorpion sting, the platica will include a discussion of the types of issues the sting has caused and how best to start the curar, or treatment (Neff, 2002).…”

“…Of those, the majority of subjects utilize herbal medicines or remedies and integrative medicine providers, including herbalists, sobadors, and other MTM providers (Arcury et al, 2019;Dinallo et al, 2017;Sorrell, 2013). In the past several years, more research has been done regarding how providers can effectively incorporate integrative medicine and culturally related care to improve outcomes, but the literature remains sparse, with research focusing on specific herbals or curanderismo techniques (Favazza Titus, 2014;Holden et al, 2014;Hoogasian & Lijtmaer, 2010;Tran et al, 2014;Valdez, 2014). These articles show a consistent pattern of increased health care utilization, satisfaction, and treatment outcomes success with the incorporation of these types of treatments for Latinos.…”

Background: Initially considered a primarily rural, White issue, opioid use and overdose rates have risen faster for Latinos (52.5%) than for White, non-Hispanics (45.8%) from 2014 to 2016. With an estimated 45% to 65% of Latino immigrant families using Mexican traditional medicine (MTM) practices before seeking Western medical services, these practices could be used as a method to increase access to care and improve outcomes. Practice Model: Although not well known, MTM is founded on a defined set of theoretical tenets that comprise a whole medical system as defined by the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health. Whole medical systems are characterized as complete systems of theory and practice that develop independently and parallel allopathic medicine. Classifying MTM as a whole medical system to encourage further research and utilization of traditional and complementary medicine (T&CM) practices could help improve health outcomes for Latino patients. Specific T&CM practices that could be used in opioid treatment integration to decrease stigma and increase treatment utilization are then discussed. Conclusion: Incorporating T&CM practices will allow more effective, culturally competent and culturally sensitive health care provision for Latino immigrants in the United States to decrease stigma, improve health care outcomes, and address disparities in opioid use treatment.

“…This use of objects that symbolize ailments or beliefs in healing rituals is a worldwide practice. Its principles are based on the classic concept of sympathetic magic (Frazer ), and its therapeutic effects have frequently been recognized by Western medicine (Parker and Horton ; Roberts ; Hoogasian and Lijtmaer ). However, its efficacy is often explained by the phenomena of suggestion, catharsis, or the so‐called placebo effect (Dein ).…”

Performing Healing: Repetition, Frequency, and Meaning Response in a Chol Maya Ritual

This article explores the role that repetition plays in symbolic healing through a close examination of the speech patterns and actions performed by a healer in a Chol Maya ritual aimed at curing a woman of kisiñ—the “embarrassment‐sickness.” The authors examine the repetition of speech patterns in the healing chant and the frequency with which other paralinguistic elements, such as taps, co‐occur with the chant verses. The sound patterns generated during the ritual, specifically those created by the rhythmic tapping of the patient's body with a bough bouquet, are yet another form of repetition often overlooked in analyses of healing rituals, which have concentrated on other symbolic elements used by healers. It is argued that the repetition of phrases in parallel verses serves as metapragmatic commentary on the healing process as a restructuring of the patient's body, which has been unstructured by the disease.

“…In the following paragraphs, I provide a brief history of curanderismo, illustrate the practices of curanderismo that are related to counseling, and present ideas based on personal experiences as a student of curanderismo. Finally, I propose that humanism may serve as a basis for recent works toward integration of traditional and modern healing practices (e.g., Hoogasian & Lijtmaer, ; Luna, ; Moodley & West, ).…”
