description : Confluence of ethnomedical experiences and use of medicinal plants of practitioners native to Translasierra Valley (San Javier Department), Córdoba, Argentina. The valley named as Valle de Traslasierra extends over the western mountainside of the Sierras de Los Comechingones hills. Its characteristic distance from large cities changed qualitatively due to major migration flows. This study aims at characterizing the ethnomedicine and natural pharmacopoeia in the region. We followed qualitative and quantitative methods representative of the ethnobotanical approach. We evidenced a vast and varied therapeutics exerted by native practitioners with a total of 676 medicinal uses corresponding to 231 taxa and 84 botanical families. An analysis of frequency of uses and taxa was also carried out through descriptive statistics. The families with higher number of cited taxa and medicinal use are Asteraceae, Lamiaceae, Fabaceae, Rosaceae and Verbenaceae. The most commonly found applications were those related to gastrointestinal disorders, followed by those related to pneumology and cardiology. From the taxa with the largest number of applications, 60% comprise introduced species and 40% consist of wild native species. Finally, the narratives show that native practitioners, while keeping alive practices based on popular medical knowledge, they have incorporated various therapeutic practices and representations, especially from alternative medicine, thus forming a vast natural pharmacopoeia with multiple meanings, typical of multicultural contexts.

El “Valle de Traslasierra”, se extiende en el faldeo occidental de las Sierras de Los Comechingones. Su característico alejamiento de las grandes urbes, se modificó cualitativamente, debido a importantes corrientes migratorias, las que han aportado diversidad a este paisaje cultural. El objetivo es caracterizar la etnomedicina y la farmacopea natural de la región. Se recurrió a métodos cualitativos y cuantitativos mediante técnicas clásicas etnobotánicas. Se evidenció una rica terapéutica ejercida por practicantes nativos con un total de 231 taxones, 676 usos medicinales y 84 familias botánicas. Se presenta un análisis de frecuencias de usos y taxones por medio de figuras de estadística descriptiva. Las familias con mayor cantidad de taxones citados y usos medicinales son Asteraceae, Lamiaceae, Fabaceae, Rosaceae y Verbenaceae. Las aplicaciones vinculadas con afecciones gastrointestinales son las más frecuentes, seguidas por neumonología y cardiología. De los taxones con mayor cantidad de usos, el 60 % corresponden a especies introducidas y el 40% a nativas. Finalmente, las narrativas denotan que los practicantes nativos, a la vez de mantener vigente su hacer con base en el saber médico popular, han incorporado representaciones y prácticas terapéuticas variadas, en especial de las medicinas alternativas, conformando así una vasta farmacopea natural con múltiples significaciones y propia de contextos pluriculturales.
