“…Individuals like Ing Hay, Li Po Tai, and others weathered economic depressions, anti-Chinese violence, and other ordeals. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] They did so not by overcoming racism but rather finding ways to use it to their advantage. American Orientalist tropes of backwardness, barbarity, and effeminacy furnished Chinese doctors and their patients with a common language.…”

Chinese medicine has a long history in the United States, dating back to its colonial period and extending up to the present. This essay focuses on the earliest generation of practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine in the United States. Although acupuncture is the modality most commonly associated with Chinese medicine in today’s medical marketplace, up until the 1970s, Chinese healers in the United States typically specialized in herbalism. Well before mass emigration from China to the United States began, Chinese material medica crossed the oceans, in both directions: Chinese medicinal teas and herbs came west while Appalachian ginseng went east. Beginning in the 1850s, Chinese immigrants came to the United States and transplanted their health practices, sometimes quite literally by propagating medicinal plants in their adopted home. Over time, Chinese doctors learned how to sell their services to non-Chinese patients by presenting herbalism as “nature’s remedies.”

[pt] O estudo da alveitaria medieval em Portugal tem sido feito sobretudo através dos manuscritos em galego-português relacionados com essa arte, que sobreviveram até hoje. Esse estudo, maioritariamente de natureza textual e filológica, tem excluído a análise dos perfis socioeconómicos e da prática da alveitaria propriamente dita. Os desafios levantados pelo baixo número de indivíduos explicitamente referidos como alveitares pelas fontes, explicável através de uma eventual pluriatividade e pela plasticidade dos conceitos são consideráveis, mas a análise dos perfis de um conjunto de indivíduos proveniente de diversos credos e atuantes tanto em Portugal, como nos territórios portugueses do Norte de África e na Índia, permite traçar, pela primeira vez, o retrato possível do alveitar medieval português e da sua prática.
