Why education can complicate belief in traditional healing practices

My mother practices santiguado and everyone in our village goes to her when they're sick, but I went to university and learned about psychology and now I don't know if what she does is real healing or just placebo effect. I feel guilty for doubting but I can't unsee what I've learned.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Academic knowledge has introduced skepticism toward inherited spiritual practices, creating internal conflict between rational understanding and cultural loyalty.
