What is it?

Seems to be a form of folk healing. If you do a google search, you will get a lot of hits. From the references produced, Mexico is one of the places where this is practiced.

I have been doing more research on the net about curanderismo and have found a researcher in Chicago (who I will contact) that is doing this as a doctoral study. Their heritage is Dominican and when she went to the DR recently to do research, found many Dominicans to discount this tradition.

If anyone knows of a credible, practicing curandera or curandero in the Puerto Plata area who would be willing to meet with me, please PM with the information and how I should approach this individual. I wish to do this with the utmost respect and not intrude or push myself on them. My own healing practice is changing and this form of healing is of interest to me.

Thanks to everyone for all responses.
