I know I’m a healer. I healed myself from what doctors said was not a cure. I’ve also been the outcast of my family and coming across this video made me feel so at peace. Thank you.
My Nana treated people( never charged) with Prayer & poultices , she was incredible . I was so fascinated. I wish I would have had some of her gift. I became a Lic Massage Therapist and was told I had a gift for healing, I never claimed to heal anyone, I would pray for the Holy Spirit to work through me.
Call upon Her Spirit to guide You. I have been a massage therapist for 22 yrs and thought it was My Moms mom that was an influence when I first got licensed but did not realize until 3 yrs ago that it was My dad's mom and Heritage that gave Me the gift of touch and healing! I believe We are guided by Our Ancestors by EVERY Breath of Life given! I started having visions 3 yrs ago once I started back grounding(walking barefoot) and closing My eyes because SPIRIT told Me to during sessions. We read peoples energy with eyes open daily but closed will see deeper into the soul. The massage My Ancestors gifted Me with helps clense the chakras which is a vibrational rhythmic healing practice along side Lomi Lomi in which I have gained SO MANY GUIDES along the way❣🌞😇♾💫🤗❣
Modern medicine, western medicine at least, focuses on interfering with and overriding the body's own healing operations. Helpers, treaters, etc. Focus on supporting the body's self-healing abilities to get to the other side of an illness. Many ancient, and I mean ancient, remedies are only just now being "rediscovered" as possible treatments in western medicine. Like chaga to aid with cancer treatments, the idea that gut health impacts everything from digestive issues to hormones balances and nuero-chemical productivity. Traditional medicine workers might not be aware of the scientific reasoning for why it works, but they knew and still knkw that it does work. There are some times when interfering with synthetics is appropriate, but doctors are now moving towards more holistic approaches because they're finding that modern medicine isn't healing patients, it's essentially covering symptoms and causing new illnesses from side effects of synthetic medications. For example, in 2015 researchers at Nottingham University recreated a remedy from the lucnanga manuscript and thought it might have some minor supportive effects on viruses and bacteria, but after testing it, found it to be potent enough to kill the MRSA super bug. This is an Anglo-Saxon manuscript of medicine, so very old, but it still works.

I would listen to them talking and catch some of the phrases concerning ants, birds, spider webs being set and they predictions were always right and I stored some in my memories and occasionally I'll try to see if I'm right. I only do fairly well, not that great. You have to be observant, they always paid attention to details.
Amen, Amen, and Amen! Just as in the olden days of the Bible. The Lord Jesus Christ, departed gifts to his children. Gifts that were to be used for the good of His kingdom. I believe in the healing powers of the Holy Spirit, working through people!
This is real. When I lived in Crowley, LA back in the early 80's my son became ill with heat. I knew nothing about this as I was from Tennessee. My father-in-law said that we were going to take him to a healer, T-shal. He made it clear to me not to say "thank you" or offer money. He said the healing would not work if I did either of those. I was skeptical but willing to help my baby any way that I could. As soon as the healing was done we left and my son threw up at the door of the car before we got in to leave. He then became his usual, happy, playful self. It worked. My second son got a boil that the pediatrician could not heal. Again we went deep in the swamps of Louisiana and met a lady who lived in a cajun house.....just like in the pictures. She prayed over my son and the following day the boil was gone, never to return. It works. The AMA is for profit and experiment, it has nothing to do with healing. Thank God for these beautiful Souls who love humanity over profit. 🙏
I healed my daughter from asthma. It has been 2 decades and she's never been bothered by it since! This is our birthright as women and we need to go back to that matriarchal way of treating ourselves and those we are tasked to care for.
Same here, but this is a gift for me, thank you Jesus for showing me that my great aunt was documented before she died, I am in tears just remembering my childhood, and how we grew up! Prayer is important 🙏, I needed to be reminded of who and where my ancestors came from!
I haven't heard my great-grandfather's (the man who raised me, my father) voice in 15 years. I cried watching this. It brought back so many memories. I Love and miss you so much Pop Joe.
Aww that poor guy broke my heart 💔 when he was a child they wouldn't play with him. It worked in his favor though because look at him now. He's a healer and been healed. Bless his soul.
Ameen. Healing hands are always on the soul of the one who is cast out. He’s closer to source and God. Color is irrelevant and it’s a construct given to us to oppress one another. Look at what happens when we live and let live. When we remove the construct. We’re able to find the kingdom of God. Bless you all.
Yes indeed, I am from NC, and came from a very poor but intelligent, very knowledgeable about healing without modern medicine. This generation will never understand.
It's mainly South Louisiana and the Low Country. Only South Louisiana talk like this and Im assuming outside the Low Country people speak different. The areas cook different too
Lawd, I haven't heard, "Ail" in SO long.. 😟 I miss my grandmothers.. Both of them. I can still hear Mama & Grandma say, "Girl, what ail' you?" 😊 May their sweet souls rest in God's Love & Peace..
When I was in college. I became really ill. I came home for spring break. My mother who was a charge nurse took me to four different medical doctors who poked me but couldn't find out what was wrong with me. Then she took me to a tribal Shaman. He was dressed in a three piece suit. He just talked to me about college. He didn't touch me. He told my mother that I had four impacted infected wisdom teeth and to take me immediately to a dental surgeon. That was what was exactly wrong with me. My uncle got mad that my mother took me to our tribal Shaman. I told him that I was glad she took me to him because the other four doctors couldn't even find out what was wrong with me but now I am well. My uncle didn't argue any more after I said that.
As soon as I turned this video on in my room, my 4 year old came in and laid down in my bed and watched it with me. He has been so peaceful and calm the whole time. I KNOW that it was God that brought me here and that it was the power of God that showered him will calm stillness. Praise God!
I come from a long family line of root healers. My profession has been in nursing because I so yearned to help people. But I found out long ago the medical system was not interested in spiritual root healing. So Nini Na Nini entrusted us with healing. Every herb, flower, bush of plant medicine was given to us from So Nini Na Nini (I Am That I Am). This knowledge is as old as Adam and Eve and it indeed accomplish what The Most High Creator created it for.
Have you heard of Ayuasca and other plant medicine? Ayuasca is supposed to cause Spiritual Healing which usually leads to physical healing. Its a Plant Medicine that causes visions.
Thelma, I had a similar response. I felt like an electrical charge all throughout my body. I felt very happy. Thank God He let you be healed through this medium. 💝
My daddy's side of the family is from Red River, Louisiana Coushatta. I still have plenty of family there including my 99 year old Madea. Also, my Mama's side is from Natchez, Mississippi. I was raised knee high to a table in those Roots.🤗. I make my own Medicine Bottles & Tinctures too.
Healers go thru a lot of isolation and abandonment to be able to have this gift!!!! This isn’t an easy gift but it’s soooooo awarding the blessing God gives thru it is more amazing that’s why taking money isn’t necessary to the true healer
I remember as a child I use to have bladder, kidney and UTI's often. I was always on antibiotics. I didn't realize it was from Mr Bubbles bubble bath. I asked the doctor was there something natural that I could take he said no. I went to my Granny's house and she gave me real cranberry juice. The thick unsweetened stuff. She had 3 cans in her cellar. She told me to drink that only no water until it was gone. I went back to the doctor and had him test me. He said the infection was gone. I said are you sure. He said yes. I then showed him the unused antibiotics.
To me, this brings new meaning to “faith without works is dead”. We gotta work the magic with our Creator. Don’t nothing happen without his OK. I never understood why people were scared to do spellwork and herbalism to better their lives 😀
I just love listening to the folk remedies and healers from all over. I am a nurse practitioner but I love to learn and respect (and support) people's home remedies/beliefs.
Statistic shows (?) average modern doctors die at the age of 57 yrs of age. Take from people who are able to live near 100 yrs without going to doctor who is more right?
@@donnysath9084 I will say that my grandmother wouldn't go to the doctor and always said "doctors will kill Ya"....she lived to 98 years young. But I do love taking care of patients
@@MiaEZ I appreciate the vote of confidence. After 30 years, I truly feel and have seen that the best treatment is a combination of therapies. But herbal/old medicine and conventional medicine. At least that's how I practice. All respect to my colleagues in the magickal arts as well as natural healers!
Very cool that you're able to work in both sides, the two together can do amazing things. Wish there was more like you, thank you for blazing this trail
From Louisiana and never heard of this type of healing. It’s been several years since I’ve been home. Hearing these authentic South Louisiana accents again is joy
The Granny in the Red Sweater warmed my SOUL soooooo much! INSTANT smiles! Took me back to when all u needed was for the "Mothers" of the Church to "lay hands" on you and through THEM, by HIS stripes, you were healed. ❤️🙏
I really like this documentary. Especially the elder lady with the pink sweater. She said something to the affect to use the gifts God gave you . If not you’ll become Ill. This is so heart warming bc ppl will judge healers or witches and say it the devils work. I’ve been ridiculed since a child and I never understood how it can bad if this was how I was created. I believe certain ppl are born with gifts that shouldn’t be ignored or looked down upon. Thanks for the video 🥰
This isn’t witchcraft, traiteurs here in Louisiana believe very strongly in the Christian God. It’s not their gifts, it’s straight from the Holy Spirit.
So nice to see we at a point we work via a phone’s now . Am a spiritual medium and healer . I have over 600 clients world wide and watching this today . I thank the healers before us
I thank Yahweh for my spiritual gifts and with healing being one of the main ones!! There's a major shift happening and we're being used even greater in these times!
This documentary truly warmed my heart. My father is from Louisiana and I've heard many stories. I too am a healer and Seer. ..let this beautiful work continue
I remember my God mother who was a healer help me break a bad fever/chills I had. She told me to put a capful of turpentine under my bed. I thought to myself this is madness but I did it. To my surprise my fever/chills were gone that morning. May God continue to bless her soul.❤️🙏🏿
Thank you. Learned somethings, got affirmations for some of what I already do. All reinforcing me connecting with my roots. I even took notes. To be able to sit up under an elder and listen. What a blessing 🙏🏾 Ase
My greatma was a healer. I remember when she talked to fire out of my cousin when he got burnt... she also was a midwife , she delivered over 2000 babies. RIP Co Ma you are truly missed!
My people are healers. We grew up using natural herbal remedies. I’ve been studying Native and African herbalism for about 5 yrs. But most of my knowledge was passed down from my elders. Our remedies work.
@@daniellescott477 I have a couple but there is an herbal dictionary I have had for many years that I use. It’s called “Prescription for Natural Cures” by James Balch and Mark Stengler. There is another book called “Medicine of the Cherokee” but it goes more in depth with Native American Spirituality and the meaning and purpose of the medicine wheel.
I love that she classifies herself as a two headed person. I’m a healer too and everything has different perspectives. Heal considering them all and only tell people the part they can conceive.
I love the Louisiana accents. This reminds me of my French grandmother. I think my mother worked with a bunch of Cajun people, because she used a lot of the expressions.
My grandmother was a midwife and local healer in South Carolina. She understood so many medicinal plans. I wish I knew more of her knowledge. I'm a work in progress. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Traiteurs have been in my family for centuries. My ancestors came here through New Orleans in the 1780s. After they bought land in st Martin parish, they married into the Houma and attakapas ishak tribe. They learned the ways of the indigenous peoples here but due to Catholicism taking over they had to make adjustments to the practice and thus traiteurs were born. Our family still owns and lives on the same land in st Martin parish. The practice still lives on in our family as well
@@reeshedayoung2097 Unfortunately she passed away in 2019 😔, but she lived to be 90 yrs old, and was still sharp as a tac!! She said that keeping up on current events (aka, reading the Enquirer 🤣) is what kept her brain sharp. That and crossword puzzles! (I think it was more the crossword puzzles than keeping up with the Kardashians! 🤣) She was def one in a million! ❤
I use all home remedies from my mom& grandma & AUNT!!!!!! My daughter said ma I have heartburn I said get a spoon& the mustard give her a tablespoon full & 15 minutes later no more complaining💪💪💪💪💪💪💪☺☺☺ it's real for me and my family
My great grand mothers (they were best friends) were Root women and treated with herbs food and laying of hands in pine bluff Arkansas. They were both murdered by hanging for what they were doing by white men who wanted to sell their opioid treatments. It really traumatized my grandmothers they didn't want us carrying on the way of being root women. But my daughter is going to school for it and I'm proud of her for carrying it on.
I'm from NC and all of this sounds like Hoodoo/Conjuring/Rootwork to me. Which has been going on since slaves were brought here to Southern parts of the states. I'm a Spiritual Herbalist and Healer. I have various gifts since I was a kid--I knew I was different. ❤️
I know a guy that can read playing cards no one taught him he just knew how to read peoples fate he was always accurate and found things out about those people without any previous knowledge. He said some have it and are able to some don’t. He said you can learn from others or read books on it but if you do not have that gift you dont. He also mentioned that he can read for anybody but he cannot read for himself ever. He said his gifts have to be of service to others and not himself.
Understanding the remark at the 10:30 mark is essential! It’s definitely up to God, who He chooses to heal or not heal through you. Thank you for uploading this video, it has helped me understand myself.
I enjoyed this documentary. Faith and herbal medicine have been healing people for centuries. Modern medicine has codified it and fine turned the chemistry. One day hopefully the two genres can meet somewhere in the middle. As a cancer survivor, it would have been a blessing to have a treater visit me to help me through the pain of anxiety and fear.
Every single video uploaded by Louisiana Public Broadcasting is excellent for just throwing on while you're working on a project. Especially for Louisianans!
Eilla you are a special person send a blessing prayer for me I try washing my foot with salt and vinegar it's help I feel it I DO MY FOOT 3 TIMES A DAY FOR NEGATIVE THINGS MY HAS EFFECT ME THANK YOU ❤
I saw many, many techniques that my grandmother and aunties use to perform. Literally created tears of joy. I am Creole My family Louisiana and Mississippi. Grandfather GEE CHEE from Mississippi.
I love the first black lady, she’s a real Christian, anyone can tell. Lord Jesus I pray that You will be with her the rest of her life in Jesus name Amen! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Ever since I was young I had a fascination with herbal remedies and I went to a church that believed in faith healing (though I believe these treaters were way more humble.) Here in my twenties I've begun to realize how bad I want to be a medicine woman and help people with prayer and herb. I pray this will come true one day.
My gramma was a healer and so we always had people in the house she was “working with”. I also bc an intuitive healer bc I was called and she poured so much into me in this area. I ran from it for a long time, now I’m back full circle💜
O dear I wish I can go back to the old days I seen it happened in various parts of the Caribbean but never take note when certain ailments come across the children of the village we used to take them to the few elders and yes they will feel better come to think of this am looking here I wish now I took it more seriously and yes I will take the word over these gifted people than these modern day doctors ,may God blessed these people especially todays people in some areas don’t have the money it’s God,🙏🏾🙏🏾
So glad this came through my feed! We all are our own healers created from the most high. We're all energy/spiritual beings. The higher your vibration, all the better. God put everything on Earth that we need and much luv to those who are healing others naturally. I'm so glad to see more ppl are becoming more spiritual and using Folk/holistic remedies for healing today. Faith is key. Idk what it is about a Creole/cajun accent, but I luv it❤❤❤
My father is from there ( Louisiana,) something about that state it has strong spiritual energy there like no other place I've been to in my life. I have travel to Africa, Egypt and I played professional basketball in Europe which I traveled to different countries no place to me have this spiritual life force like that place and I from Los Angeles now living in Brooklyn.
People must believe in themselves and their ability to hear themselves and others. yes there are those of us who harbor much energy and can cast that energy to heal or to harm
Thank you so much for this. I am a healer and on many levels have been so for most of my adult life. I have had many jobs and making people happy and feel better mind body and soul has been a part of this. I don’t always have confidence in my work. This has been helpful.
Yes, I love that part of not having confidence all the time... I feel the same almost all the time, coz I can't tell when it's my thoughts or message from God
My grandmother was a faith healer. When I was a little girl, I thought that every grandmother had the gift. She never charged...she said it was God's gift not hers to gain. If people chose to leave a donation, she never had them place it in her hand.
I’m born and raised in South Carolina and I know my great gma who’s still alive btw would treat lots of people especially if someone was burned bad or had warts or babies that had thrash she’d do what’s called “talk the fire out” and people would swear the pain left and the burn no matter how bad would heal without a scar or trace anything was there. She’d blow smoke and pray over babies and their thrash would be gone by night or early next morning. She done so much more and people come from miles to see her and she’d always know exactly why they were there without them saying anything. My gma her daughter is gifted with the ability to see if your pregnant what you’ll have what they’ll be and look exactly like and she’s never been wrong. Southern culture is different and sadly almost a thing that’s extinct but I’m glad I lived to see these things with my own eyes. God bless these people
My mother took me to a local healer when I was a baby because I had thrush. The lady took me into a back room for a few minutes, then came out and gave me back to my mom. Told her it would be gone by the next morning. It was. The lady's name was Miss Mandy Alexander, of Scott County Mississippi. Long gone but not forgotten. ✌️
I know I’m a healer. I healed myself from what doctors said was not a cure. I’ve also been the outcast of my family and coming across this video made me feel so at peace. Thank you.

Every herb, flower, bush of plant medicine was given to us from So Nini Na Nini (I Am That I Am). This knowledge is as old as Adam and Eve and it indeed accomplish what The Most High Creator created it for.
Have you heard of Ayuasca and other plant medicine? Ayuasca is supposed to cause Spiritual Healing which usually leads to physical healing. Its a Plant Medicine that causes visions.
This is my story....Yah bless you!
@Lov3zone don't be so gullible.
Can you teach me?
Does anyone in your family still practice?
I believe these healers are a tool of God. It is a healthier option for our bodies than taking man made medicines.
Some are…..
I had terrible pain in my left side which stopped while I watched this video. Thank you Jesus.
Thelma, I had a similar response. I felt like an electrical charge all throughout my body. I felt very happy. Thank God He let you be healed through this medium. 💝
Amen 🙏🏾 According to your faith. Be it done unto you!
AMEN Thelma!
AMEN
Healers and herbalists were the healers of a community and so were shamans. They are the medicine men and women.

I'm from Shreveport Louisiana and my maw maw would always heal us I love my Louisiana culture
Awww❤❤
My daddy's side of the family is from Red River, Louisiana Coushatta. I still have plenty of family there including my 99 year old Madea. Also, my Mama's side is from Natchez, Mississippi. I was raised knee high to a table in those Roots.🤗. I make my own Medicine Bottles & Tinctures too.
Thanks for sharing!
I am finding my way back.
@@uandistyles4514 You are finding your way back where? Do you mean to the Roots?
I don't live very far from Coushatta. I live on Black Lake
@@FeliciaQueen17 Would you happen to know of anything that helps with prostate cancer?
My granny was a healer & midwife she past it down she knew who to teach I am forever grateful.
Are you a midwife?
Healers go thru a lot of isolation and abandonment to be able to have this gift!!!! This isn’t an easy gift but it’s soooooo awarding the blessing God gives thru it is more amazing that’s why taking money isn’t necessary to the true healer
This is so true. I can say that for myself
Do you know any true healers?
I remember as a child I use to have bladder, kidney and UTI's often. I was always on antibiotics. I didn't realize it was from Mr Bubbles bubble bath. I asked the doctor was there something natural that I could take he said no. I went to my Granny's house and she gave me real cranberry juice. The thick unsweetened stuff. She had 3 cans in her cellar. She told me to drink that only no water until it was gone. I went back to the doctor and had him test me. He said the infection was gone. I said are you sure. He said yes. I then showed him the unused antibiotics.
I love this story! Thanks for sharing.
Love u for sharing
what a story! love it
Oh yea that can do it
Had him second guessing he's whole "career" lol
To me, this brings new meaning to “faith without works is dead”. We gotta work the magic with our Creator. Don’t nothing happen without his OK. I never understood why people were scared to do spellwork and herbalism to better their lives 😀
Why do you say "spell work", when they use the word "prayers"?
@@jansteinvonsquidmeirsteen2256still spellwork. Magic, we own that title. Prayer alone won't do it
This is demonic.
@@saramother1366who is we ?
@@BeautysKitchen-k8n if it don't apply let it fly
This is what I’ve been called to do. Very grateful to be a servant to humanity.
Are you a healer
I just love listening to the folk remedies and healers from all over. I am a nurse practitioner but I love to learn and respect (and support) people's home remedies/beliefs.
Statistic shows (?) average modern doctors die at the age of 57 yrs of age. Take from people who are able to live near 100 yrs without going to doctor who is more right?
@@donnysath9084 I will say that my grandmother wouldn't go to the doctor and always said "doctors will kill Ya"....she lived to 98 years young. But I do love taking care of patients
Consider crossing back to the real healing. You would be good at it.
@@MiaEZ I appreciate the vote of confidence. After 30 years, I truly feel and have seen that the best treatment is a combination of therapies. But herbal/old medicine and conventional medicine. At least that's how I practice. All respect to my colleagues in the magickal arts as well as natural healers!
Very cool that you're able to work in both sides, the two together can do amazing things. Wish there was more like you, thank you for blazing this trail
From Louisiana and never heard of this type of healing. It’s been several years since I’ve been home. Hearing these authentic South Louisiana accents again is joy
I'm from New Orleans, do you know what part of Louisiana is this?
@@lindafisher3660 I'd like to know the same.
Its hoodoo aka rootwork conjure....research look it up

They mentioned Houma/Terreborne Parish and Indians so I guess its down that way

Them again sound like the Black lady is from around Lafayette area
Ms. Ella is something special how I need someone like her in my life...we all need a spirit like hers around!
After what I witnessed while working in a nursing home during the pandemic I will never trust these modern day doctors.
What did you witness?
The Granny in the Red Sweater warmed my SOUL soooooo much! INSTANT smiles! Took me back to when all u needed was for the "Mothers" of the Church to "lay hands" on you and through THEM, by HIS stripes, you were healed. ❤️🙏
Honey, you sound like my momma! She love to say "lay hands... & by His stipes, I'm healed!" Every day, all day. Ain't nothin like a Mother's touch.
Do u no how to get in touch with her
Yes!!! The old church mothers!! Holy women!!
@@AnnAnn-il2lk she passed YEARS ago....
I really like this documentary. Especially the elder lady with the pink sweater. She said something to the affect to use the gifts God gave you . If not you’ll become Ill. This is so heart warming bc ppl will judge healers or witches and say it the devils work. I’ve been ridiculed since a child and I never understood how it can bad if this was how I was created. I believe certain ppl are born with gifts that shouldn’t be ignored or looked down upon. Thanks for the video 🥰
❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️
This isn’t witchcraft, traiteurs here in Louisiana believe very strongly in the Christian God. It’s not their gifts, it’s straight from the Holy Spirit.
@@johnnyboy3079and the holy Spirit works through them as a vessel to heal others

Can you heal people that are haunted by bad memories?
So nice to see we at a point we work via a phone’s now . Am a spiritual medium and healer . I have over 600 clients world wide and watching this today . I thank the healers before us
Can you heal people that are haunted by bad memories?
I thank Yahweh for my spiritual gifts and with healing being one of the main ones!! There's a major shift happening and we're being used even greater in these times!
This documentary truly warmed my heart. My father is from Louisiana and I've heard many stories. I too am a healer and Seer. ..let this beautiful work continue
Wonderful!

What causes insomnia?
Can you heal people that suffer from haunting bad memories?
I believe God gave us everything we need in nature. It takes certain people to be able to use them for healing. We can all heal ourselves really.
I remember my God mother who was a healer help me break a bad fever/chills I had. She told me to put a capful of turpentine under my bed. I thought to myself this is madness but I did it. To my surprise my fever/chills were gone that morning. May God continue to bless her soul.❤️🙏🏿
So A Ghost Was In Your Residence You're Ghost Sensitive?? 🤔
I’ve been so interested in how they used turpentine
@@OneofTheMostHigh It's A Astringent Among Other Things
@@crystalbrame7886 It's the exact opposite of astringent. It has a releasing and dispersing property, in addition to being antimicrobial.
That stuff is strong smelling I’ll probably get sick from the smell
I believe in these. These are ancient way of healing. No drugs, just herbs, prayers and faith in God
Thank you. Learned somethings, got affirmations for some of what I already do. All reinforcing me connecting with my roots. I even took notes. To be able to sit up under an elder and listen. What a blessing 🙏🏾 Ase
Hello 👋🏽 Queen LRoshae, thanks so much for the reading the other night. I find it not by coincidence I find you here. But confirmation!

My greatma was a healer.
I remember when she talked to fire out of my cousin when he got burnt... she also was a midwife , she delivered over 2000 babies.
RIP Co Ma you are truly missed!
My people are healers. We grew up using natural herbal remedies. I’ve been studying Native and African herbalism for about 5 yrs. But most of my knowledge was passed down from my elders. Our remedies work.
Do you have any ideas or books, notes you could share?
What do you have for hair loss?
I need help I please
@@christineb7304 horsetail, nettle, rosemary, aloe vera are good
@@daniellescott477 I have a couple but there is an herbal dictionary I have had for many years that I use. It’s called “Prescription for Natural Cures” by James Balch and Mark Stengler. There is another book called “Medicine of the Cherokee” but it goes more in depth with Native American Spirituality and the meaning and purpose of the medicine wheel.
Watched it 2x to get the full revelation, thanks for this
I love that she classifies herself as a two headed person. I’m a healer too and everything has different perspectives. Heal considering them all and only tell people the part they can conceive.
Please pray for my husband to heal his broken jaw he has no money no insurance
@@Fashionsources will do, praying he has a speedy recovery 🙏🏽
Thank you
Can you help people to heal their minds? Can you help people that have haunting bad memories that they would like to forget?
I love the Louisiana accents. This reminds me of my French grandmother. I think my mother worked with a bunch of Cajun people, because she used a lot of the expressions.
Lawrence is so sweet and genuine, you can feel his compassion and empathy in his kind eyes. I hope he is living a very happy life ❤️

My grandmother was a midwife and local healer in South Carolina. She understood so many medicinal plans. I wish I knew more of her knowledge. I'm a work in progress. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Would your grandma be able to help me
Where is your grandmother and is we still practicing?
Traiteurs have been in my family for centuries. My ancestors came here through New Orleans in the 1780s. After they bought land in st Martin parish, they married into the Houma and attakapas ishak tribe. They learned the ways of the indigenous peoples here but due to Catholicism taking over they had to make adjustments to the practice and thus traiteurs were born. Our family still owns and lives on the same land in st Martin parish. The practice still lives on in our family as well
Hello
My grandmother who was from Louisiana had a home remedy for EVERYTHING! A few of these I remember. The bark for a toothache especially!
What a coincidence/ I wish I can see you or ur granny! Omg I'd love to see a natural healer!
@@reeshedayoung2097 Unfortunately she passed away in 2019 😔, but she lived to be 90 yrs old, and was still sharp as a tac!! She said that keeping up on current events (aka, reading the Enquirer 🤣) is what kept her brain sharp. That and crossword puzzles! (I think it was more the crossword puzzles than keeping up with the Kardashians! 🤣) She was def one in a million! ❤
I use all home remedies from my mom& grandma & AUNT!!!!!! My daughter said ma I have heartburn I said get a spoon& the mustard give her a tablespoon full & 15 minutes later no more complaining💪💪💪💪💪💪💪☺☺☺ it's real for me and my family
Oh wow!
🙌🏾
Mustard = turmeric = anti-inflammatory 👍🏼
I never knew that
My great grand mothers (they were best friends) were Root women and treated with herbs food and laying of hands in pine bluff Arkansas. They were both murdered by hanging for what they were doing by white men who wanted to sell their opioid treatments. It really traumatized my grandmothers they didn't want us carrying on the way of being root women. But my daughter is going to school for it and I'm proud of her for carrying it on.
I’m from Pine Bluff too! I hope you answer the call.❤
Carry on the tradition ❤
❤🙏
So sad!! Please support your daughter.
Your story broke my heart. The wickedness of some people is unbelievable. Your daughter is a testament of how we can never be destroyed as a people.
I'm from NC and all of this sounds like Hoodoo/Conjuring/Rootwork to me. Which has been going on since slaves were brought here to Southern parts of the states. I'm a Spiritual Herbalist and Healer. I have various gifts since I was a kid--I knew I was different. ❤️
What part of NC? I would love to see your work! I'm in Charlotte
I want to learn about tge different herbs for healing I want to become an herbalist
Hey Mary I see you are a healer and herbalist would you mind contacting
@@melah0221 hey did the healer/ herbalist ever contact you if so how can I contact her
Well healing is a part of Hoodoo so yes 😊
I know a guy that can read playing cards no one taught him he just knew how to read peoples fate he was always accurate and found things out about those people without any previous knowledge. He said some have it and are able to some don’t. He said you can learn from others or read books on it but if you do not have that gift you dont. He also mentioned that he can read for anybody but he cannot read for himself ever. He said his gifts have to be of service to others and not himself.
Would love to meet your uncle
Where is he? I would love to see him.
I would love to get his contact information
My Great Grandfather read from playing card's 🔮🕯♠️♥️
Where can i meet him
Amazing documentary, loved it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Understanding the remark at the 10:30 mark is essential! It’s definitely up to God, who He chooses to heal or not heal through you. Thank you for uploading this video, it has helped me understand myself.
God has gave these Wonderful people the gift of healing
God is so good all the time. ❤️🙏🙌🤗❤️
It hurt my heart hearing how Lawrence’s siblings would leave him out, but had it not been for that, he wouldn’t have found his calling
All things work together for the good of them that love the Lord and are called according to his purpose.
Amen sis @@mrs.spicer
I enjoyed this documentary. Faith and herbal medicine have been healing people for centuries. Modern medicine has codified it and fine turned the chemistry. One day hopefully the two genres can meet somewhere in the middle. As a cancer survivor, it would have been a blessing to have a treater visit me to help me through the pain of anxiety and fear.
Love the Bayou and our Native American healing modalities!!!!

Every single video uploaded by Louisiana Public Broadcasting is excellent for just throwing on while you're working on a project. Especially for Louisianans!
And yes yes mama Eli’s is right , if you stop healing people you get sick ..that’s why I can’t stop healing people , I literally get physically sick
Can you heal a person's mind that is haunted with bad memories?

They are so humble and pure hearted you can feel the love from them and earnestness to help people it's beautiful❤️❤️
Yes it is. God be the glory. I am a healer but pray is the key faith unlocks the door. Cant lay hands on everybody
I saw many, many techniques that my grandmother and aunties use to perform. Literally created tears of joy. I am Creole My family Louisiana and Mississippi. Grandfather GEE CHEE from Mississippi.
Are your grandmother and aunties still performing those techniques? If so, I would like to speak with them.
I love the first black lady, she’s a real Christian, anyone can tell. Lord Jesus I pray that You will be with her the rest of her life in Jesus name Amen! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Ever since I was young I had a fascination with herbal remedies and I went to a church that believed in faith healing (though I believe these treaters were way more humble.)
Here in my twenties I've begun to realize how bad I want to be a medicine woman and help people with prayer and herb. I pray this will come true one day.
This video gave me CHILLS🥺 I miss you Grandma🥲Thank you Creator and my Ancestors for bringing me here,🛐🎁💯
These ppl are such a gift to humanity! They are Vessels! I pray for them to continue to do the Lord’s work!
My gramma was a healer and so we always had people in the house she was “working with”. I also bc an intuitive healer bc I was called and she poured so much into me in this area. I ran from it for a long time, now I’m back full circle💜
how beautiful
My grandmother passed folk healing down to me. Many people laughed at her.
I would love to meet with you 🙏🏿
Your a blessing to people. from God
Are you in the occupation of healer today?
Where are you located?

Cool
I just watched and thoroughly enjoyed this.. what a gem of a documentary!
O dear I wish I can go back to the old days I seen it happened in various parts of the Caribbean but never take note when certain ailments come across the children of the village we used to take them to the few elders and yes they will feel better come to think of this am looking here I wish now I took it more seriously and yes I will take the word over these gifted people than these modern day doctors ,may God blessed these people especially todays people in some areas don’t have the money it’s God,🙏🏾🙏🏾
I believe in Jesus Christ and I believe in natural medicine leaves plants herbs can heal people along with prayer. Amen!
I do as well!
So glad this came through my feed! We all are our own healers created from the most high. We're all energy/spiritual beings. The higher your vibration, all the better. God put everything on Earth that we need and much luv to those who are healing others naturally. I'm so glad to see more ppl are becoming more spiritual and using Folk/holistic remedies for healing today. Faith is key.
Idk what it is about a Creole/cajun accent, but I luv it❤❤❤
🌸
Me too ❤️
My father is from there ( Louisiana,) something about that state it has strong spiritual energy there like no other place I've been to in my life. I have travel to Africa, Egypt and I played professional basketball in Europe which I traveled to different countries no place to me have this spiritual life force like that place and I from Los Angeles now living in Brooklyn.
Bless these people may they continue to heal and Bless those they treat
I am surprised this isn’t blocked by corporate pharma.
This is a wonderful documentary! Louisiana has rich history.
I’m still watching this video lol! I love metaphysics
People must believe in themselves and their ability to hear themselves and others. yes there are those of us who harbor much energy and can cast that energy to heal or to harm
Thank you so much for this. I am a healer and on many levels have been so for most of my adult life. I have had many jobs and making people happy and feel better mind body and soul has been a part of this. I don’t always have confidence in my work. This has been helpful.
Yes, I love that part of not having confidence all the time... I feel the same almost all the time, coz I can't tell when it's my thoughts or message from God
Do you have healing for fibromyalgia and neuropathy by of legs? Please

This was soooo beautiful. Had to tell my 82yr old Creole mama about it. She's told about the roots her mother would use. I loved this.
Bless this man & our older folks. They are precious 💖
My grandmother was a faith healer. When I was a little girl, I thought that every grandmother had the gift. She never charged...she said it was God's gift not hers to gain. If people chose to leave a donation, she never had them place it in her hand.
I love this vídeo everyone in this vídeo are beautiful warm wise smart and welcoming May God continúe to bless all of them 💯❤️🙏
The treasures are in gifts of humble people, it’s the best rule of living to know that every day. Culture is madness of human powers.
I’m born and raised in South Carolina and I know my great gma who’s still alive btw would treat lots of people especially if someone was burned bad or had warts or babies that had thrash she’d do what’s called “talk the fire out” and people would swear the pain left and the burn no matter how bad would heal without a scar or trace anything was there. She’d blow smoke and pray over babies and their thrash would be gone by night or early next morning. She done so much more and people come from miles to see her and she’d always know exactly why they were there without them saying anything. My gma her daughter is gifted with the ability to see if your pregnant what you’ll have what they’ll be and look exactly like and she’s never been wrong. Southern culture is different and sadly almost a thing that’s extinct but I’m glad I lived to see these things with my own eyes. God bless these people
Please What part of SC and does she still do this?
Info please?
My mother took me to a local healer when I was a baby because I had thrush. The lady took me into a back room for a few minutes, then came out and gave me back to my mom. Told her it would be gone by the next morning. It was. The lady's name was Miss Mandy Alexander, of Scott County Mississippi. Long gone but not forgotten. ✌️
Can your gma heal a person mind that is haunted by bad memories?
I love that this was documented. I come back to see all especially my great grand father Pop Joe. ❤
This documentary was amazing. ❤
