The Amazon rainforest has many different plants that can be used as herbal medicines. They can be used to cure headaches, skin irritation, high blood pressures, and many other diseases.
Tibetan Medicine is based on Buddhism and explains that everything including illness derives from mind and the five elements.
Susana Brooks has studied with both shamens in the Amazon and with healers in the Tibetan tradition. It has become apparent to her that there are often unseen forces in this world that can affect health. Miraculous healings have occurred in traditional societies that are inexplicable to the modern scientiest.
To become such a healer takes years of training, spiritual practice and retreat. While Susana does not claim to have any deeper knowledge of this healing world, she can recommend herbs and simple techniques that she learned in her studies of these two cultures.
