Abstract
During the visit to the Indigenous council, a collection of various medicinal plants traditionally used by the community was carried out. Some of these species were gathered directly from the medicinal garden of the taita who welcomed the group, sharing insights about the origin and cultural significance of several plants. This interaction allowed the recovery of knowledge passed down through generations. Throughout the tour, the taita briefly explained the history of certain plants and the healing uses attributed to them for treating different ailments. Participants learned about traditional healing practices and observed how each species was selected and prepared. These explanations enriched the understanding of the spiritual and therapeutic importance of plants within ancestral medicine. It is important to highlight that each collected species was documented with its conservation status, botanical description, distribution, and medicinal use. All this information was compiled in the book, accompanied by an illustration of each plant to support proper identification and recognition. The resulting technical record represents a valuable contribution to the preservation of traditional knowledge and scientific dissemination.
