Curandero/a comes from the root curar in Spanish which literally translates to cure. Thus, a Curandero/a is one who heals.

Among the illnesses that Curandero/a's help with range from the mundane stomach ache to certain spiritual illnesses such as susto, mal de ojo, and even reversing black magic.

In the 21st century as the popularity of alternative medicines grow some curanderos are concerned about the appropriation of these practices.
