"Hundreds of different types of medicine plants are sold here every day," Ferreira says. "Sellers often come here by bus for a few days, then go back to their homes in the countryside." Business is good. But folk healing is in transition in Paraguay. In Paraguay's Yvytyrusu National Reserve, a walkabout with Sunilda, the medicine woman, leads to a plant called Cola de Raton (rat's tail), useful for fever. Sunilda is the main provider for her family. But, partly because of competition from other medicine women, she faces a scarcity of the plants that she has picked for a lifetime. "Every day I have to search farther from my house than before just to find the plants I'm after," Sunilda says. "The deeper into the forest I go, the more poisonous snakes there are, too."

Plants vs. Pills "Last week the village chief's seven-year-old daughter died from a fever, Benitez says. "We gave her medicinal plants but they weren't strong enough to save her. We needed modern medicines and a doctor." Only 20 years ago doctors and what people called, "strange painted tablets" were looked down upon. Now few Paraguayans want to be without them. "I first tried the 'head-ache' pills (aspirin) 10 years ago," says Ida (who would not give her surname), an elderly medicine women living alone with her son in the Mbaracayu Biosphere Reserve.

The total area of is 406,752 sq. km (157,048 sq. mi.). Asuncion is the country's capital. The Paraguay River divides the country into sharply contrasting regions, namely, in the west, the Gran Chaco, or Paraguay Occidental, and in the east, Paraguay proper, or Paraguay Oriental. The Gran Chaco is part of an alluvial plain that extends from Paraguay into Bolivia on the west, Argentina on the south, and Brazil on the east. Grassy plains, swamps, and scrub forests cover the area. Paraguay proper consists mainly of the southern extension of the Paraná plateau. This elevation, from 305 to 610 m (1000 to 2000 ft) high, forms a watershed that gives rise to numerous tributaries of the Paraguay and Parana rivers. On its western edge the plateau falls off sharply to a region of fertile grassy foothills toward the Paraguay River; in the east it descends gradually toward the Alto Paraná River.
