SUMMARY:

Epistemicide and epistemic racism produced invisibility/delegitimization of traditional and popular knowledge, restraining autonomous production of knowledge and their practices. Notwithstanding witchdoctors and faith healers are secular and part of Brazilian culture, the knowledge colonization, and imposition of the biomedical model relegated traditional knowledge and their health care practices to the margins. This study aims to understand the traditional knowledge of popular medicine and its practices, investigate its influence on westernized medicine, the social perception of its practitioners, and the evaluation of family and community doctors about this knowledge and practices. Based on qualitative methodology, this research is guided by decolonial feminist studies. Theoretical-bibliographic research will be conducted around the productions that approach traditional knowledge, popular medicine as well as the professionalization of medicine and emergence of medical knowledge, building a conceptual framework and approximation with the field. Additionally, semistructured interviews will be conducted with the family and community physicians. The research will have a final stage, where documental analysis will be conducted regarding legislation and documentation refraining integrative and complementary health practices.
