Organized by "illness", it describes the illness in general terms, the treatment in Mayan, and that translated into English, with notes on whether the treatment is thought to have been imported from Spain, or traditional. Sources are primarily from the Maya in the Yucatan, so the language is probably Yucatecan. Scientific names are available for most plant remedies.
