Medicinal plants have played an important role in the management and treatment of disease since the beginning of human existence.In this sense, indigenous cultures have acquired a broad knowledge of traditional medicine by their constant interaction with the environment, healing diseases over thousands of years.The Vaupés department is very diverse, biologically and culturally; approximately 85% of the population is indigenous.Unfortunately, throughout history, different processes have led to an acculturation of indigenous communities in this area, resulting in the loss of knowledge and of the original practices of traditional medicine, including ancient transfer models.Currently, traditional healers in the Vaupés (and Colombia in general) see the need to transmit their knowledge to future generations, to strengthen the transfer systems, to rejuvenate their identity, as well as to integrate them into models of local sustainable development.We would like to contribute to this process of memory recovery and knowledge revival.
