Resumen
En el presente trabajo se compara la medicina tradicional de dos regiones (las dolencias identificadas como más relevantes y la herbolaria empleada para tratarlas), y se cotejan las dolencias más importantes según la interpretación del sistema de salud tradicional y el biomédico. Las diferencias halladas en el número de menciones y de plantas usadas para tratar las diferentes dolencias en la medicina tradicional de las dos regiones estudiadas muestran que ambos sistemas médicos reconocen las mismas afecciones pero con distintas ponderaciones de importancia. Al comparar el sistema tradicional con el biomédico, la primera diferencia notable es la organización conceptual de las causas de pérdida de la salud. Se discuten acciones futuras que fomenten el progresivo intercambio en las partes de modo de integrar ambos sistemas en uno solo y en confluencia con los intereses de los receptores.
