Zambia, Africa

Selina Tembo, a spiritual healer, cuts wild plants to use as traditional medicines in Lusaka, Zambia. Traditional herbs are popular among Zambians, despite a wave of Christianity that discourages their use. Tembo says she tries to connect with spirits as she searches for treatments, and that her white robe signifies purity of the spirit.
