Peasants in Turkey are mostly wise, worldly, down-to-earth people. Superstitions do play a role in their line of thinking though it is not only the peasant mind which is exclusively preoccupied with superstitions. Peasants＇ other beliefs mostly fall into the scope of religious creed. Folk healing is mingled with some beliefs but some healing methods are just primitive but consistently logical modes of treatment of diseases and if people resort to them, it is mainly because of the inaccessibility of modem medical ways. Folk healing, besides, is being replaced by modem treatment more and more.
