Summary/Abstract: The article views the different etiological systems presented by various ethno-medicine researchers. In addition to Ilmari Manninen (who included Estonian material), classifications suggested by Mascie-Taylor, Honko, Morley and Ackerknecht are viewed. There is as yet no systematised overview of Estonian folk medicine. A new system of categorization needs to be created for this.
