Medicine in the Bolivian Andes | SLICE

In the high valleys of the Bolivian Andes, the Kallawaya doctors have a unique know-how, legendary throughout all of South America, that has been transmitted from father to son for centuries. Max is a well-known Kallawaya doctor. Today, he will teach his adoptive son Johnny the secrets of the Kallawaya medicine. Together, they travel on foot across the mountains, from village to village to heal those in need, thanks to the natural power of plants.

Why do pple not want to live like this? What's wrong with having simple beliefs? Why do we need to know everything? One of the best. Pple need to learn this language so it's not lost.

What was the herb's name for fear?

[elenagisa]

Keeping natural remedies secret keeps people in the big pharma shops. Why keep it secret ? Give the knowledge to those willing to learn instead of dying with all knowledge in you.

[nitinkataria]

Which language is it ? Portuguese or Spanish, I guess.

[NiDA]

Medicine - pharmacy, sorcery, spells, wichcraft, drugs
