\n

<\/a>In a new podcast from health insurer Cigna, Ina Vandebroek, Ph.D.\u2014the Matthew Calbraith Perry Assistant Curator of Economic Botany and Caribbean Program Director at The New York Botanical Garden\u2014discusses how she studies the ways in which Caribbean and Latino immigrants in New York use medicinal plants in their health care.<\/p>\n

As part of her research, she delves into the traditional knowledge, beliefs, and practices of the Dominican and Jamaican communities and also carries out field research in the Dominican Republic and Jamaica.<\/p>\n

Dr. Vandebroek talks about cultural beliefs about specific illnesses and herbal therapies that are recognized in these communities but unfamiliar in mainstream medicine, such as \u201cevil eye.\u201d<\/p>\n

Putting her voluminous research to practical use, she has developed training activities with health care professionals to help them understand the traditional beliefs and health care practices of their Latino and Caribbean patients. Her aim is to give doctors and other providers the information and understanding they need to\u00a0build trusting relationships with their immigrant patients\u2014with fully informed, improved care as the ultimate goal.<\/p>\n

You can\u00a0listen to the 36-minute podcast here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dr. Vandebroek\u2019s research is supported in part by a World of Difference grant from Cigna Foundation.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
