The therapeutic dimension, claimed by the actors of Ruqyah, unfolds either in a collective ritual setting or as an individual ritual at home. The use of plants and other ingredients to prevent or fight against possession and bewitching is consistent with a logic of purification and elimination of evils. Purgatives, emetics, body wash, physiological serum and cupping give meaning to the evil and show a targeted treatment. Whether or not the individual suffering follows a biomedical treatment, the Ruqyah experience is appropriated during the therapeutic itinerary and transmitted to the patient’s entourage (family, other sick individuals). |
