Medicinal Plant Use by Amazonian Tribes in the Amazon Forest

Medicinal plants and traditional medicine use by the Matis Indian shamans is different in that it usually uses plant preparations that are used externally on the body rather than being eaten or drunk. This video is a documentary of the use of a drug which is used to improve vision and a bath used to protect children from evil animal spirits. This use by Matis Indian shamans is different than the traditional medicine of the Yanomami, Huaorani, Ticuna, Bora, Yagua, and Shipibo tribes.
