El síndrome cálido-fresco en la medicina popular criolla del Chaco argentino

Abstract: RESUMENEn base a entrevistas semiestructuradas, realizadas con criollos del Chaco argentino, se describe la categorización de elementos de la farmacopea vegetal, animal y mineral según el síndrome calido-fresco, así como las etiologías de sus enfermedades-trastornos. Según esto, se identifican modelos etiológico-terapéuticos en su medicina popular, caracterizados como alopáticos y homeopáticos, para 428 aplicaciones medicinales de su farmacopea. Se analiza además la articulación de lo calido-fresco con otros s… Show more

“…In what is related to air and the "aicadura", we have found the same conceptual basis but with different names in studies made in Creole communities with Quechuan influence in neighbouring regions, in which they are referred to as "sobreparto" and air [2,3]. In both cases (air and "aicadura") the person resorts to the "rural doctor" who performs secret cures, such as "limpias" and "alumbriadas" in which plants clearly play a secondary role in the therapy (more details in Hilgert [29] and Amodio [47]).…”

“…According to the local notion the body cooling or overheating affects the function of the corporal humors, thus menorrhagia, menstrual hemorrhaging, placental retention and other post-partum disorders are explained by an alteration in the blood; these kinds of ideas are common in different cultures [2,3,5,14,15,19,48]. The templary imbalance constantly appears as a "producer" of ailments and practically all measures taken in these cases are preventive ones.…”

“…Entre las principales aplicaciones específicas para las que son empleadas las plantas (Tabla 2) se destacan el "empacho" (con 17 usos) y los "depurativos sanguíneos" (10), las cuales constituyen categorías gnoseológicas típicamente criollas. En el mismo sentido, se destaca la presencia del síndrome cálido-fresco 3 (propio de la medicina humoral registrada entre los criollos del Chaco argentino por Scarpa, 2004b), a juzgar por la cantidad de "refrescantes" registrados (13 usos), aunque no así de remedios "cálidos".…”

“…El elevado empleo de plantas caracterizadas como "cálidas" (60%) para dolencias del aparato reproductor resulta congruente con el tipo de etiología ("fría") asignada a la mayoría de estos tipos de trastornos en la medicina humoral latinoamericana en general (Kay, 1976) y de los criollos de Argentina en particular (Scarpa, 2004b;Martínez, 2010). De esta manera, se constata que el criterio terapéutico al que responden estas prescripciones se corresponde con el principio de oposición hipocrático-galénico.…”
