Abstract

Neste artigo elencamos as particularidades terapêuticas do Centro Ayahuasqueiro Flor de Jasmim; irmandade religiosa sobre a qual nos dedicamos à exposição etnográfica dos fenômenos relativos ao estabelecimento da saúde e ao tratamento de doenças. Isto posto, buscamos descrever os casos observados em campo, assim como explanar as narrativas dos curadores da Casa. Em conclusão, aludimos que a eficácia das terapias locais repousa no protagonismo de curadores, pacientes e entidades em complexas interações, tanto para a aquisição da saúde, quanto para o expurgo de doenças e outros infortúnios capazes de intervir nas vidas dos sujeitos assistidos pelo Centro.
