Sažetak

This article is part of a broader, ten-year research of folk medicine in
Croatia. The research collected data about various practices, beliefs
and attitudes towards sickness and health, as well as the role played
by folk medicine practitioners in the environment where they live and
practice. Data obtained through field work were compared to relevant
ethnological and anthropological literature and medical accounts.
The article encompasses the period from the late nineteenth century
to the present and attempts to establish what functions were fulfilled
by folk medicine practitioners, how these functions changed in time
and how the present use of folk medicine has different economic, ideological and social implications not only for individuals, but also for
the society as a whole.
