Sažetak
Folk medicine is a traditional medical practice in the general population, especially rural. Traditional medicine methods used herbal remedies as well as the use of human, animal substances, minerals and various procedures. There is very little literature discussing the folk treatment of ear, nose and throat diseases. The aim of this paper is to show how otorhinolaryngological diseases were treated in folk medicine in southern Croatia during the 19th century. Efforts were also made to explain the reasons for such empirical treatment that passed from generation to generation. At the end of the 19th, and especially at the beginning of the 20th century, modern and scientific otorhinolaryngology developed in southern Croatia, but also throughout Croatia, first in large cities. So, gradually the folk medicine in the treatment of ear, nose and throat diseases became forgotten.
