Background and aims: This article approaches the medical ethnobotany of the Criollos of the east of the province of Formosa (Argentina) from the description and study of a particular typical pathology of their ethnomedicine named py'a ruru as a local name for hepatitis or stomach swelling (its etiology, therapeutics and the plants involved in its treatment). These rural and peri-urban populations wiht Hispanic-Guarani roots, live in the Chaco Húmedo region and in their medicine and ethnobotany classificatory were observed notions related to the Hippocratic-Galenic theory, as occurs in the medicines and ethnobotany of other human groups of the country and of America.
M&M: Ethnobotanical information was collected through semi-structured interviews. Plant material was collected in the forest and also plant samples were acquired in a market.
Results: The etiology and therapeutics of py'a ruru are exhaustively described and analyzed. The 21 vegetal species used in its therapeutics are detailed. 10 of them are classified as "fresh remedies" and 7 of them as "drying remedies". Furthermore, these species imply 21 medical ethnobotanical data.
Conclusions: The continuities and discontinuities of warm-fresh and dry-humid notions typical of the local Criollos in their medical ethnobotany and ethnomedicine, together with the 21 plant species used in the treatment of the disease described, allow us to glimpse the wealth of knowledge that are used in domestic and specialists medicine in the east of the province of Formosa. |

Introducción y objetivos: En este artículo se aborda la etnobotánica médica de los criollos del este de la provincia de Formosa (Argentina) a partir de la descripción y el estudio de una patología particular propia de su etnomedicina, el py’a ruru hepatitis o estómago hinchado(su etiología, terapéutica y las plantas involucradas en su tratamiento). Estas poblaciones rurales y periurbanas de raigambre hispano-guarani habitan en la región del Chaco Húmedo y en su medicina y etnobotánica se observan nociones clasificatorias relacionadas a la teoría hipocrático-galénica tal como ocurre en las medicinas y etnobotánicas de otros pueblos del país y de América M&M: Se recolectó la información etnobotánica por medio de entrevistas semiestructuradas, se recolectó material vegetal y se adquirieron muestras en el mercado local. Resultados: Se describe y analiza la etiología y terapéutica del py’a ruru de manera exhaustiva. Se detallan las 21 especies vegetales empleadas en su terapéutica (que redundan en 21 datos etnobotánicos médicos), 10 de ellas clasificadas como “remedios frescos” y 7 de ellas como “remedios secantes”. Conclusiones: Las continuidades y discontinuidades de nociones cálido-frescas y seco-húmedas propias de los criollos locales en su etnobotánica médica y etnomedicina, junto a las 21 especies vegetales empleadas en la terapéutica de la enfermedad descripta, permiten vislumbrar la riqueza de los saberes que se ponen en práctica en la medicina doméstica y la de especialistas en el este de la provincia de Formosa.
