Lumenaria, Hilot Master

Filipino descendent. She knows the art of native filipino healing, since her childhood. Lumenaria has learned to use her hand on native filipino healing technique from her mother and other native and faith healers in Leyte and Cebu.

Lumenaria is a so called “Hilot” practitioner. She learned these native filipino healing techniques, as a child, from her mother. Cresencia Rodela Kinio - during her lifetime, was considered the village Hilot in the barrio of San Roque, Macrohon in southern Leyte. This ancient art of native filipino healing is used to relax stressed muscles. The so called “Masahista”, are usually alternatives to medical doctors in the rural areas of the Philippines. They employ chiropractic manipulation, massage and treatment of musculoligamentous and musculoskeletal ailments. They are also known to reset dislocated and sprained joints such as the knee, ankle, fingers and metacarpal bones. Hilot tend to be a chiropractor while an Arbularyo tend to be a herbalist and psychic / spiritual healer, and mostly they are able to use both native filipino healing techniques. On the onset of the Colonial era, the expression of the “Babaylans” native Filipino Pagan, gave rise to the “Albularyo”. By exchanging the native Filipino Pagan prayers and spells with Catholic “oraciones” and Christian prayers, the Albularyo was able to syncretize the ancient mode of native filipino healing with the new religion. As time progressed, the Albularyo became a prominent figure in the most rural areas, which are still lacking access to scientific medical practices, but the most of the rural Filipinos, still today, trust more to the Hilot and Albularyos, to rid them of common sicknesses and diseases.

Lumenaria use and practice these native filipino healing techniques on a daily basis, helping other people in the village we lived and of cours to all of our family.
