The Magic of Maya Medicine: Traditional Healing, Spiritual Baths & Herbal Wisdom with Rosita Arvigo

What can ancient Maya healing teach us about modern wellness?

In this rich conversation, we sit down with Rosita Arvigo, naprapathic doctor, herbalist, and founder of Arvigo Maya Abdominal Therapy. For over a decade, Rosita apprenticed with the revered Maya shaman Don Elijio Panti of Belize. Together, they preserved and evolved a lineage of healing that blends abdominal massage, plant spirit medicine, and energetic cleansing.

Rosita shares how this ancestral knowledge supports reproductive, digestive, and emotional health—and why these practices matter more than ever.

Highlights include: 

• The therapeutic power of abdominal massage for women’s health
• How Maya healing supports prolapse, infertility, menstrual pain, and IBS
• The role of spiritual “lustration baths” and cleansing rituals
• Energetic intelligence in plants, prayer, and healing intention
• Rosita’s apprenticeship with Don Elijio Panti in Belize
• Food, forgiveness, and emotional equilibrium as pathways to wellness
• The importance of preserving indigenous healing traditions

Rosita is the author of Rainforest Remedies and Sastun: My Apprenticeship with a Maya Healer, and has worked for decades to protect and share Maya plant medicine through clinical work, community education, and international training.
