What are Yerberias?


Hierberias most known as yerberias, are boutiques which focus on using nature for thousands of purposes. In these small stores you can find practically anything for any problem or difficult situation you maybe in. Yerberias are not all the same, some focus on Santeria while others focus on other beliefs. Santeria is a kind of religion with origins from Africa, although now it is practiced all over the world, it has become a mixture with ancient African beliefs along with Catholicism with the use of saints therefore the term Santeria comes about.  Owners of these yerberias  practice the use of cards, others claim to connect spiritualy and know about the future, others  claim to only serve God. Yerberias also offer its customers a diversity of plants and herbs that can be used in remedios or remedies. The diverse products sold at a yerberia can be used by curanderos or healer. Yerberias are becoming more popular and are spreading across the nation. Most yerberias are found in communities with a high concentration of Latin Americans. Although, now it is common to see people with diverse ethnic backgrounds go to yerberias and practice the diverse beliefs.
