Maya
Mayan medicine is based on its own culture, cosmo-vision, and spirituality. Balance between mind and body, energy meridians, bio-dynamic and holistic focus, are all concepts which have gained favor in recent decades. Alternative medicine and naturopathy have become normal options to obtain health without secondary costs.
Little by little, without a lot of noise, the various disciplines contained within the field of naturopathy or natural medicine, have gained the confidence of thousands. Over time, knowledge has grown about working with plants. Beyond their curative powers, people recognize their spiritual and beneficial qualities.
The “Dzac yahes” are healers who are experts in the chemical and medicinal qualities of herbs. Their curative system is recognized as an efficient method. Mayan healers are much about ceremony, and most certainly during treatments ceremonies do occur.
This has been demonstrated in the huge amount of literature about Mayan medicine, copied from their manuscripts by many Europeans and also compiled during their scientific research, practiced for decades by the Mayas. Herbal baths are used to refresh and purify both the energetic and physical bodies. The combination of the power of water to hold energy and intention along with the healing properties of the plants provide deep cleansing and renewal.
The Mayan civilization of Central America was very advanced in its use of herbs for medicine and religion. Most of the herbs the Mayans used were from the Central American region. It has been found that they did have a large amount of trade and had access to trade from all the way into the deserts of what is now Mexico, parts deep in the Central American jungles, and around the coastal areas. The Mayans were also very skilled cultivators and had extensive knowledge of growing seasons and plant cultivation techniques.
In the Mayan culture, sickness and misfortune believed to be caused by bad spirits. Many of the treatments involved cleansing and banishing the sickness away. Herbs were a main tool in these treatments and rituals.
Some of the main aspects that Mayan Healers work currently are:
· Balancing the Endocrine System
· Your Adrenal Health Matters
· Your Reproductive System
· Menopause: A New Chapter
· Making Fertility Happen
