"Based on extensive field work in southern Veracruz, this innovative study discusses folk tales and stories of illness from indigenous people, and provides explanations that emphasize the close connections between healing practices, milpa (corn field) cultivation, and corn mythology, indicating that human health and the life cycle of the corn plant are governed by the same principles founded on native concepts of the hot and the cold. Notions of what is cold and what is hot influence the ways in which the Nahuas and Zoque-Popolucas of the Sierra de Santa Marta think about their relationship with the land and all entities that surround them, including fellow humans, plants, animals, and spirits. By revealing the connections between ethnomedicine, agriculture, and mythology, Chevalier and Sanchez Bain help clarify puzzling aspects of Mesoamerican religion and symbolic thought, and lead the way towards a better understanding of indigenous perspectives in the modern world."--Jacket 410 0$aAnthropological horizons. 606 $aNahuas$xMedicine$zMexico$zVeracruz-Llave (State) 606 $aPopoluca Indians$xMedicine 606 $aTraditional medicine$zMexico$zVeracruz-Llave (State) 607 $aMexico$zVeracruz-Llave (State)$2fast 607 $aMexico 608 $aFolklore. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aNahuas$xMedicine 615 0$aPopoluca Indians$xMedicine. 615 0$aTraditional medicine 676 $a306.4/61/08997452 700 $aChevalier$b Jacques M.$f1949-$0877586 702 $aChevalier$b Jacques M., 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821011403321 996 $aThe hot and the cold$94074002 997 $aUNINA
