As part of a sense that the modern Maya still have to the land that provides them with plants and their use to restore the health of the individual, this paper describes the knowledge and use of plants in order to cure common diseases in urban and rural families in particular. To cure these pathologies in a domestic way is not required a deep knowledge and rituals as in the case of so-called herbalists,  curanderos  or h-menoob [priests, in Maya language]. Although this knowledge has survived, adjustments to the current Mexican law are needed in order to preserve the application of medicinal plants to treat common ailments to avoid the loss of this oral transmission.  a1657-9763
