What young people of Villena (Alicante) know on traditional skin care?

Abstract

In several studies about the alternative medicine, have been observed characteristics of the adult population. The aim of this study is to discover knowledge that young people have in traditional care and whether transmission occurs equally among men and women. This paper assesses the patterns of transmission through a qualitative study with a young group of Villena (Alicante). In contrast to previous studies, has concluded that the transfer of this knowledge is without gender differences.
