The 19th century philosophy of the practice of healing was to find ways to sell drugs and/or services that would make people believe that they will be healed. Merchants wanted to make a profit and people who were ill would try anything to get relief and get better. The shamans act as healers that practice in a ritual of trances and plant-based medicines (Levinthal, 2012).
