文摘

From medical anthropology, we analyze ayahuasca as part of plural medical systems. We describe its networks in general and for the case of Spain and Catalonia. Unlike biomedicine, anthropology unveils the links between medicine and religion. Ayahuasca is protected under the right to religious freedom in some countries. Medical anthropology allows to consider ayahuasca in its medical aspects too.
