Interesting Articles on Folk Medicine,

This review is from: Healing Logics: Culture and Medicine in Modern Health Belief Systems (Paperback)
The articles in this book are intriguing and well-written. They deal with ways to understand traditional and unorthodox health practices within their own communities. The writers are especially interested in relationships between scientific medicine and alternative/complementary medicine. There is a great range of approaches and interests, and the book provides numerous ways to examine how various types of knowledge are valued and devalued in relation to health care. My major critique of the overall project is that it doesn't fully deal with the tension between the need to engage in scientific inquiry while working to understand traditional health care beliefs and practices that stand in contrast to scientific methods and theories.
