Medicine Man

10,281 views
Jafta and Katriena are not people who take pills - they prefer to rely on nature's medicine. Even when he was a young boy, Jafta would visit the mountains to collect healing herbs. Now aged 84, he still cycles out to the mountains to hunt for herbs. He doesn't sell these herbs, but shares with those around him when they are ill. He gives from the heart, not expecting anything in return. It is his calling.

Learning from his elders, Jafta always leaves roots behind so the herbs can grow again. He says "We should leave nature in a better state than we found it." How can you do that this very day, within the nature that surrounds you?

inspired by Jafta and Katriena's generosity, may we each give our gifts. May they (and we) also share our knowledge so that it does not die with us. Beautiful story, thank you. <3

I was and is deeply moved by this video. First of all, it demonstrates how powerful love really is. Lovingly, from the very begin systems have been put in place to heal and maintain a well-fortified mind, body, and spirit. Secondly, through compassion, embracing, and emitting this love we seek to provide healing to everyone.

This is so inspiring. To have that sense of sharing, caring, giving and respect for Mother Earth, as his elders taught him.... Love the way his wife's eyes smile and their tenderness fro one another. Silly take away: thank God for smelly feet. Real take away: "Make me a channel like Jafta... for it is in giving that we receive...."
