The Women Healers of Goa: Keepers of Ancestral Medicine

For centuries, before modern medicine is widely accessible, communities in Goa rely on women healers—knowledgeable, intuitive, and deeply connected to nature. These women play a crucial role in maintaining the health and well-being of their villages through their understanding of herbs, traditional healing techniques, and spiritual practices. Their wisdom passes down through generations, shaped by indigenous knowledge, Ayurveda, and influences from Goa’s multicultural past.

Dr. Maryanne Lobo helps us understand the significance of these women healers, their methods, and why they are indispensable in an era when hospitals and pharmaceuticals are rare. She also explores how their role evolves over time and what we can learn from their legacy today.
