Traditional Medicinal Practices of Kutia Kandha Community of Odisha

Описание к видео Traditional Medicinal Practices of Kutia Kandha Community of Odisha

For the Kutia Kandha their very existence is linked with the environment and the supernatural powers. They believe, disease is something that affects both body and soul and illness is a sort of disturbance in a person’s life-force caused by the supernatural powers and environmental factors. The healing practices of the community thus rely on the medicinal efficacy of plants, animals and minerals administered by folk healers by direction of the divine.

The film follows Kutia Kandha healers as they collect, process and prescribe their traditional medicines. In doing so, it explores the Kutia Kandha understanding of illness – both of natural and supernatural origin and how they are treated.
