Neo-Traditional Medicines: Ethnographic Contributions to Conceptual Definition
Since the end of 1970, the World Health Organization has encouraged the development of public policies that expand the approach to care and the therapeutic possibilities offered by its member states beyond technoscientific health care. In Brazil, the institutionalization of this approach is related to the promotion of popular and traditional knowledge associated with the usage of medicinal plants.
Neo-Traditional Medicines: Ethnographic Contributions to Conceptual Definition
Introduction In this article we present and discuss the concept of neo-traditional medicines, which we have been using as a comprehensive-interpretative category in an ethnographic study currently underway in Brazil. The observations shared here are part of a broader study, still in development, in which we analyze ways of bringing legitimacy to health-related technologies recently institutionalized in the Brazilian health system.
