Abstract

A considerable percentage of the inhabitants of the communities of Sakalwas, Padriwas and Nazareth, in the Mayangna Sauni As. Territory, are forgetting the traditional practices, as a solution to their health problems, and style using western medicine to solve them. This implies the loss of knowledge about ancestral medicine and the consequent deterioration of our identity, which is intimately linked to this ancestral practice.
