摘要:On the basis of semi-structured interviews with criollos of the Argentinian Chaco, the author describes the categorization of plant, mineral and animal elements of their pharmacopoeia according to the hot-cold syndrome, as well as the etiologies of their illnesses and diseases. He identifies the etiologico-therapeutic models of their medicine, which are characterized as allopathic and homeopathic and have 428 applications. In addition, he analyzes the articulation of the hot-cold principle with other symbolic systems and with the sensitive properties of the remedies. The hot-cold syndrome is the main etiologico-therapeutic criterion of the folk medicine of these Creoles.
