• Wild herb — A rare regional masculine noun used in certain western communities to designate a species of herbaceous plant from the spontaneous flora or a local phonetic variant attributed to some field weeds. In old botanical glossaries, the term describes a plant with a thin stem and lanceolate leaves, sometimes used in rural empirical medicine to obtain soothing or healing infusions for the skin.
• Antiscientific — Opposing science, the scientific method, or the rigorous spirit of research based on empirical evidence, logic, and experimentation. The term characterizes theories, doctrines, beliefs, or dogmatic manifestations that reject the validity of proven laws of nature, propagate superstitions or misinformation, and deny rational progress in favor of mystical, pseudoscientific, or ideological explanations.
• Aristotelian — Belonging to the philosophy or methods of Aristotle, relating to Aristotelianism; a masculine follower of the Aristotelian doctrine. In a broad sense, it describes a rigorous, empirical, and analytical way of thinking based on the systematic observation of reality and the use of formal deductive logic to structure human knowledge.
• Assertoric — Asserting or denying something as a real, certain, and axiomatic fact; relating to a value judgment or a proposition that simply states an existing state of affairs, without presenting it as necessary or purely axiomatic (as opposed to apodictic or problematic). In a structural sense, it describes the logical modality through which the truth of an utterance is linked strictly to observable empirical reality.
• Associationist — Belonging to associationism, relating to associationism, or adopting the principles of this psychological and philosophical doctrine; as a noun, it designates a woman who adheres to the theory that all phenomena of mental life, from elementary cognitive processes to the most complex manifestations of consciousness, are explained by the combination and formation of associations between sensations, images, and ideas.
• Old-fashioned — Pertaining to old women, specific to them, or originating from them; characteristic of traditional rural mentalities. In current usage, the term usually qualifies empirical remedies, beliefs, or household customs transmitted orally in rural environments, which do not rely on rigorous scientific or medical arguments but form an integral part of folklore.
