Albularyo

Albularyo is a special word in the Philippines that refers to someone who practices traditional medicine. This person uses natural remedies such as herbs and plants to help people who are sick. They might also use special stones, massages, or other techniques to help make people feel better.

Think of albularyo like a magic healer who knows all about nature and can use its powers to cure people. They might have learned their skills from their family or community and they might also have some special powers themselves.

Sometimes, people go to see an albularyo instead of a doctor, especially if they live in rural areas where doctors might not be available. Albularyos are respected members of the community who help keep people healthy and feeling good.
