In this powerful episode, Gabrielle sits down with Iosellev "Josie" Castaneda, author of Latine Herbalism: A Beginner’s Guide to Modern Curanderismo, Healing Plants, and Folk Traditions of the Americas—a passionate advocate and practitioner of Latine folk healing. Together, we explore the living legacy of curanderismo: a sacred blend of plant medicine, holistic practices, and ancestral wisdom rooted in Latine cultures across the Americas.

Josie shares the inspiration behind their book and unpacks the richness of Latine herbal traditions, including how they blend ancient remedies with modern wellness practices.

In this episode, we discuss:

• What modern curanderismo means today
• The healing power of herbs and plants from the Americas
