The aim of this research is to analyze the art of healing in Minas Gerais during the 1700’s, expressed in the medical records: “Mineral treasury” by Luis Gomes Blacksmith and “Government of the Miners” by Jose Antonio Mendes; in the medical prescriptions from that period and the Ecclesiastical Profligates. The present study approaches the process of cure in the daily routine of the population of the mines and the fluidity of domains between the popular and the scholar medical knowledge marked for a strong presence of the “magical universe” in the medical practice. The proximity between medicine and magic, mainly concerning the therapeutic ingredients of both and the syncretism occurred in colonial Minas Gerais, was responsible for the creation of a multifaceted medicine and which involved the universe of magic.
