- Even today, on the Louisiana bayous, alligator grease relieves asthma, a buried potato cures warts, and "smoking a baby" eases the pains of colic. Enter this distinctive tradition of faith healing, herbal remedy, and ritual magic as this documentary follows respected "traiteurs" to gather wild teas, brew homemade cough syrup, invoke the saints at home altars, and most of all, heal the sick.
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.
It makes me sad because we really don't have elders like this anymore...MISS U GRANDMA ❤
Before we had doctors, we had healers ...they are and will always be with us...and we are grateful 🙏
I trust a gifted healer much more than I would ever trust "modern" doctors.
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.
I know for a fact God uses people to heal 🙏
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.
I wished I knew the older black woman. She's very spiritual and with alot of knowledge and wisdom.
This popped up on my RUclips newsfeed and I’m so appreciative to God, my ancestors and spirit guides! ❤️
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.
A praying grandmother has a WHOLE new meaning to me 😢❤
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!
Herbal plants works. God gave us the plants as food and medicine.
So much young people could learn just sitting and listening to old folks talk
PBS in the 80s was real for this. This is history ❤
I believe these healers are a tool of God. It is a healthier option for our bodies than taking man made medicines.
Ms Ella raised all 6 of her sister's babies and you can tell she really was grateful to.
My granny was a healer & midwife she past it down she knew who to teach I am forever grateful.
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.
