What do you mean by "traditional medicine"?
Traditional medicine refers to healing practices that have been passed from one generation to the next through lived experience, observation, mentorship, and community.
Many of the methods used at The House of Obba come from healing traditions that have supported people for hundreds—and in some cases thousands—of years.
These traditions include herbal medicine, Curanderismo, Traditional Chinese Medicine principles, bodywork, ritual practices, and other systems of care rooted in relationship—with the body, the natural world, and community. More
