How have you and/or your family used folk healers or healing practices to recover from an illness or injury?
My family believes in “ojo” which is healed by running an egg up and down the affected persons body while reciting prayers.

My friends mother is a nurse at methodist Mansfield and has encountered a number of obstacles when serving family. One incident was when her daughter (my best friend ) was taken to the ER after being severely beaten by her boyfriend. My friends mother was working that shift and as you can imagine she went ballistic and could not focus on her other patients. My friend had a broken nose, swollen purple eyes and a missing tooth.
