Resumo
This study examines the transmission, both in terms of origin and dissemination, of folk medicine in the Baja Extremadura region of Spain. The known percentage of remedies received is 87.8%, whereas 61.7% were disseminated. The known transmission (origin) of folk medicine is basically oral (86.2%). This is produced within the same family (56.6%), and the mother is the major transmitting figure (33.7%). In terms of dissemination of remedies, men (67.3%) disseminate more than women (57.3%). The use or the effectiveness of popular remedies does not influence their dissemination.
