19th Century Practice Of Healing

The 19th century philosophy of the practice of healing was to find ways to sell drugs and/or services that would make people believe that they will be healed. Merchants wanted to make a profit and people who were ill would try anything to get relief and get better. The shamans act as healers that practice in a ritual of trances and plant-based medicines (Levinthal, 2012). These shamans are believed by some to be miracle workers and others believe it is a scam to get people’s money. Shamans become known in the community from word to mouth. You have that person who is sick and visits the shaman, they do there trances and give the plant medicine and the person is healed. They go and tell everyone that they were healed by a shaman. This
