The Filipino healing tradition called hilot has spanned undocumented ages-handed down from generation to generation by the Filipino sages, the albularyo. Unknown to the albularyo himself, and more so to lay people like us, is the fact that this age-old wisdom is indeed rooted in science the universal law and the natural law.

This pioneering work is the fruition of forty years of passionate seeking, research, and practice of Bibiano Fajardo. He studied and lived with many albularyo in different parts of the country, collecting, internalizing, and finally, synthesizing their wisdom into a scientific framework where all healing modalities belong.

This book is an eye opener to the Filipino people, who can now talk about their culture with pride, and to the scientific community, as a framework for them to take a second look. For the modern world and its problem of chronic illnesses, hilot is a definite alternative that stands equal to the other healing modalities in the world.
