SPI Lecture Series: ''Curanderismo and the Role of Culture Competency''

Lecture by Dr. Antonio "Tony" Zavaleta. Curanderismo means folk medicine in Spanish. In Mexico, it is based on Aztec , Mayan, and Spanish influences. The ancient native cultures believed that a delicate balance existed between health, nature, and religion. Though rooted in ancient cultures, it is still practiced today -- right here in the Rio Grande Valley.
