Recognition of the cultural knowledge of Ancestral Medicine in the indigenous communities of Rivas

Abstract

Elements that had great significance in our societies, elements such as History, culture, traditions and knowledge that have been lost due to the lack of information transfer as a result of globalization and the incorporation of Western elements into our customs, knowledge and traditions. This work aims to contribute to the recognition of people who have dedicated their lives to contribute through their knowledge in the application of ancestral medicine practices for the common good of their communities with the clear intention of developing the good living of the population in their communities territories.
