    Infusión. Guía de uso de plantas medicinales de las parroquias rurales del Azuay
    (Instituto Superior Tecnológico Particular Sudamericano, 2026) Chuquimarca John; Martínez Richard; Terreros Carla; Maldonado Rafael
    This book was created with the purpose of compiling, organizing, and sharing knowledge about the medicinal plants used by the residents of various rural parishes in Azuay. Beyond simply documenting this knowledge, this guide seeks to bridge the gap between ancestral wisdom and modern science, promoting an intercultural perspective in the field of health. Its pages contain detailed profiles of the plants most commonly used in the region, their traditional applications, methods of preparation, and the precautions necessary for their safe use. Designed for students, health professionals, researchers, members of the Rural Social Security system, and anyone interested in natural medicine and traditional knowledge, this work also serves as a tribute to the rural communities of Azuay. They are the guardians of a living body of knowledge that is valuable and essential today, when the search for sustainable and culturally respectful alternatives in healthcare is increasingly urgent.
