Viewed as a
pragmantic pandering
to mystical and even
supertitious belief.

Actually dominates the
psychotherapeutic practice and
psychologist condescendingly
uses the indegenous belief
system in order to establish
contact with the other side of the
cutural divide

14. Meanwhile, the herbal preparation is
commercially repackaged in tea bags,
ostensibly for convenience . The
issue of exploition comes in once
then colonizing culture realizes the
true value of plants and herbs and
starts patenting them.
