Jaibanás, yerbateros y parteras: los practicantes de la medicina tradicional en las comunidades emberá Dóbida y afrodescendientes en el Bajo Atrato (1970-2023)
Open accessAbstract
La medicina tradicional se ha constituido como un factor determinante para las comunidades rurales que recurren a ella para mantener una salud equilibrada. Este artículo se centra en identificar de qué manera los practicantes de la medicina tradicional (Jaibanás, yerbateros y parteras) han influido en la administración de la salud y enfermedad en las comunidades emberá Dóbida y afrodescendientes en el Bajo Atrato, durante el período de 1970 a 2023, y estudia las dinámicas en las cuales estos grupos humanos han incurrido para potenciar sus cuerpos, sanarse y/o aliviarse de diversas afecciones. Para abordar la investigación se emplearon entrevistas a habitantes de esta región sobre los elementos que han contribuido a asegurar tanto su salud física como espiritual y se realizó un análisis historiográfico, herramientas que pusieron de manifiesto la función trascendental desempeñada por cada uno de los agentes medicinales en sus comunidades y que evidencian que las relaciones interétnicas fundamentadas en el respeto, la colaboración y la transmisión de conocimientos desde la oralidad, en beneficio de las prácticas medicinales, han sido esenciales.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
This article examines how traditional medicine practitioners—jaibanás, yerbateros, and parteras—shaped health and illness management among emberá Dóbida and Afrodescendant communities in the Bajo Atrato from 1970 to 2023. It argues that interethnic respect, collaboration, and oral transmission sustain these practices, with parteras and ombligada central to prenatal/postnatal care and bodily empowerment.
Key findings
- Traditional medicine is primary care in the Bajo Atrato due to geographic isolation, state neglect, and limited Western health services; jaibanás treat spiritual/non-physical illnesses, Afrocolombians have greater skill for lombriz or mal de ojo, and emberá Dóbida have greater mastery of illnesses linked to spirits and magic.
- Interethnic exchange is described as horizontal and ongoing: Afrodescendant and emberá Dóbida practitioners share knowledge such as snakebite cures, mal de ojo protection, and deworming children; ombligada uses animal, plant, and mineral substances to confer traits, with emberá Dóbida favoring animal substances and Afrocolombians mostly plants.
- Parteras provide prenatal and postnatal care, often without pay; ASOREDIPARCHOCÓ reported more than 1,050 associates, 97% women parteras and 3% parteros, 52% Afrodescendant, 45% Indigenous, and 3% mestizo. One case notes a health-center professional charged 15,000 pesos while the partera received no payment.
- Jaibanás may be trained through paid instruction, inheritance, or rare selection from gestation; conflicts among practitioners can cause displacement or harm to community resources, and some practitioners also perform harmful magic for money.
Methods
- Qualitative historical-ethnographic study in the Bajo Atrato, based on field research and interviews with inhabitants and traditional medicine practitioners, plus historiographic analysis.
- Interviews conducted in 2023 with named interlocutors (e.g., Valoyes, Papelito, Edilberto Conde, Palacios, Pino, Torres, Meléndez, Caicedo) and secondary sources from anthropology, history, and health literature.
- Analysis synthesizes oral testimonies with documentary and secondary sources to describe the roles of jaibanás, yerbateros, and parteras over 1970–2023.
Limitations
- The paper states that a language barrier limited information collection with emberá Dóbida practitioners because they did not understand the questions, and that access to some practitioners’ places of residence was impossible.
- The paper states that future research should address generational change, deforestation in community zones of the Bajo Atrato, forced displacement, and voluntary mobility.
- Evident from the text: no total sample size, sampling strategy, or systematic coding/analysis procedure is reported; findings rely heavily on selected oral testimonies and secondary literature.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-11-08, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-11-08 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
