It reconstructs the situation of residents in the surroundings of the Chernobyl power plant, of which a part resettled in the Czech Republic, and analyses the relationship of the new state of affairs for folk healing. The text indicated the logic of the adaptation mechanisms of the group of people to the new circumstances and their mobilization of the cognitive potential. Other than the information, the text shows the process, how “human wisdom” on health and disease is formed and adapts to the new, in this case extreme, situation.
