The Portuguese arrival in the East put these men in contact with new cultures and traditions and introduced them to new elements of the Asian natural world. In the eighteenth-century Goa, the high mortality and diseased rates showed the need to expand the European medical knowledge, established as standard in Estado da Índia. Therefore, the European healers, especially the Jesuits acting in this field, faced the opportunity to expand the technics and recipes under their domain, since they now have access to knowledge and ingredients not only from Portuguese Asia, but from other places under Portuguese rule.
