Latinx Herbalists share their remedios caseros

POPSUGAR is an American media outlet that powers the optimism and dreams of women around the world through positive, purposeful, and playful content. As a Contributing Writer for POPSUGAR Latina, I interviewed several different Latinx curanderas, herbalists, and healers on their favorite home remedies for seasonal sicknesses. Each story highlighted the history of the individual healers with a recipe for remedies such as sopa de pollo, herbal smoking blends, fire cider, hot chocolate, herbal tea, and a cold syrup. As someone of Mexican descent also interested in reconnecting with ancestros, this was a powerful series for me personally to write.
