A family member or folk healer often treats susto using magico-religious techniques (Rubel 1960) in which the soul is returned to the body, or through ethnopharmacological techniques in which susto is cured by taking indigenous medications (Trotter 1982).Chamomile/manzanilla is one of the most common natural aids for anxiety and mild depression in the Mexican culture and is thought by many to be a great sleep aid.
