An Insight Into the Past of Yerberismo

The yerbera explained to me a little bit of the history of yerberia she informed me that the beliefs of yerberia is mostly used by people from Mexican origins but the Mexican culture adopted and adapted it to their way of life. In reality the origins of yerberia and Santeria derives from the African continent, she explained how slave trade brought these beliefs to Latin America specifically in Cuba where African slaves worked in plantations. The beliefs seemed to slowly integrate and fuse into the countries of Latin America who were pressured to convert into Catholicism, therefore the incorporation of Catholicism came about in yerberia.
