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.

Healing-Herbs-Gratitude

I absolutely loved this podcast episode with Rosita Arvigo. I’ve been diving deep into herbal research lately and came across the name Don Elijio, which led me to several articles about Rosita and her incredible work. I truly appreciate how she honors Don Elijio’s legacy it shows such respect for the lineage of traditional healing.

As a licensed massage therapist who works extensively with the lymphatic system, especially with women, I was deeply moved by how Rosita ties plant medicine into the physical body. Her ability to explain complex topics with clarity and reverence is powerful.

The wisdom she shared in this episode was profound, and I pray for the opportunity to one day study with her. The questions asked by the hosts were thoughtful and helped the conversation flow beautifully. A must-listen for anyone walking the path of healing.
