		Curanderos would often practice in their home, or if they used a studio it would be a small room located centrally to the village.

		Curanderos that can be found in modern American cities, while still offering a service to their clients, are often more different than they are similar to their traditional curandero ancestors.

		Para sanar a los enfermos, los curanderos pidieron cachos y uñas de vaca, cuatro candelas, hilo negro, azufre, varias hierbas y un ron plata negro (licor tradicional).
		Mientras los enfermos aseguraban sentirse mejor, la comunidad trataba de cumplir con todas las exigencias de los curanderos, y buscaba la forma de conseguir dinero, gallinas y terneros para que éstos le revelaran el nombre del sukia (brujo) que los hechizó.
		No obstante, Salomón y otros curanderos que le sirven de asistentes advirtieron que si la comunidad no identifica y castiga al autor del maleficio, "es probable que el mal regrese" después de la cura que estarían realizando a través de un extraño ritual que los afectados aseguran ya está "dando resultado".

	Curanderos: Curse of the Aztecs
		A "curandero" or "curandera" is sometimes called a "folk medicine healer" who practices an odd mix of herbology, Catholic saint prayer, psychic "powers', and often, card reading, spell breaking and even spell casting.
		Because all curses or workings (blessings, the curandero will tell you) do is activate demons to complete and carry out the directives.
		It is frightening to me that presently, Curanderos and Curanderas are being allowed to train hospital staff, social workers, law enforcement and even educators in "their ways".

		Curanderos are consulted for a variety of illnesses, including “mal ojo,” the famed evil eye, and “caida de la mollera,” the sunken fontanelle of an infant child.
		Curanderos are meant to share their gifts with the unwell, and any reward must be nominal.
		Citing the “sensitive, shy, and careful” nature of the average curandero, the authors made only the most conservative recommendations, most notably that the curanderos gain an increased awareness of the symptoms of serious disease (for example, diabetes and heart disease) and of the health agencies available within their particular area.

		Porque muchos curanderos a los que se ha sorprendido cometiendo fraude cuentan con curaciones hasta de enfermedades que parecían irreversibles.
		Un curandero puede provocar la curación con un simple fetiche o el sanador con la imposición de manos de la misma forma que puede hacerlo el médico con un vulgar placebo o la fe depositada en la Virgen de Lourdes, en una jaculatoria o en un gurú.
