Academic medicine searched to discredit folk medicine so it could monopolize the field.

In this paper we analyze how important was the religion in some cases of folk medicine through judicial records in Buenos Aires province during sixty years. La medicina popular ha empleado diversas prácticas –la herboristería y la magia han sido algunas de ellas– para curar diferentes males tales como esguinces o hasta cuadros bacterianos o virales. Desde la medicina académica se buscó desacreditarla en un intento por monopolizar el campo. Uno de los motivos por los cuales su éxito fue relativo fue el componente cultural de la medicina popular, representado en algunos aspectos religiosos de las curas empleadas por sus agentes: los curanderos. En este artículo analizaremos la impronta de la religión en algunos casos de medicina popular a través de fuentes judiciales de la provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina, en un período de sesenta años.
