This is the main reason we are choosing Ecuador, because of my profound & deep respect for the ways of the ancient people.
As a Naturopath, I use herbs, homeopathy, plants, Reiki etc for not only we humans but all of our animals as well.
We drink raw goat milk daily, mixed with various herbs depending on need. If we don't grow it or know who did we don't eat it.
Ecuador rhythms are beating in my heart.
Living close to the Yakima nation in Washington state, and with Yakima, Navajo & Celilo friends, for the last several years we've tried to find elders who have not forgotten the old ways. While some elders still do root foraging and such, they have sadly lost their ways and health to modern medicine.
The area we would want to live in would be an area rich with indigenous.
I realize that this is truly a path less chosen by most expats, but it is the natural path that calls me to Ecuador. It is also because the Ecuadorian indigenous have retained their strength politically, while the first people of North America are only slowing beginning to rise again.
Other expats with medicinal herb inclinations?
