Abstract | The interview is part of an investigation of the complex interplay between Latino immigrant access to Orange County, N.C.’s healthcare services and their use of traditional medicine. Vicente offers a unique perspective on why immigrants use natural or traditional medicine. His store, El Mundo Natural, provided an accessible and affordable alternative source of medicine to the immigrant population of Durham, N.C. Vicente describes both the physical and emotional afflictions common to most immigrants and their root causes. This interview allows for a better understanding of the use of natural medicine as a way for immigrants to remain culturally connected to their home countries as well as its role as a safety net in a foreign and sometimes unwelcoming country. |
