“…Hay investigaciones que han incidido en la concepción de la salud y las prácticas curativas de los pueblos indígenas, pero vinculados al territorio y la ecología (Lozano y Salazar 2018, Pérez-Meza 2013, Rocha-Buelvas 2017, Vega-Franco 2002, Zuluaga 1999. Para Pérez-Mesa (2013), los pueblos indígenas de Colombia (wayuu, uitoto sikuane y bará), la conciben como parte integral del territorio y de su universo cultural, articuladas al concepto vida y para estas comunidades, todos los componentes de la naturaleza están dotados de vida porque todo tiene espíritu.…”

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo determinar las principales características de la salud y naturaleza en comunidades asháninkas de la cuenca del río Tambo, distrito de Río Tambo, provincia de Satipo, en la selva central de Junín. La investigación es cualitativa, tipo aplicada, nivel exploratorio, método etnográfico, diseño no experimental. Los instrumentos utilizados fueron la guía de entrevista y la guía de observación; la epistemología que sustenta la investigación es la teoría histórico-cultural de Lev Semionovich Vigotsky. La muestra representativa fueron treinta participantes. Las principales características halladas fueron que la salud es integral, física, psíquica y armonía. La salud es integral, porque incorpora las enfermedades de los seres humanos, la naturaleza y el universo; es físico, porque el ser humano tiene fuerza y vigor corporal para realizar actividades; es psíquica, porque al ser humano la naturaleza le quitó la fuerza de vivir; es armonía, porque hay una relación entre el ser humano y la naturaleza.

“…Research approaches promoting traditional knowledge systems historically excluded from public health strategies are an integral part of this strategy (De Sousa Santos, 2010). Traditional systems give local phytomedicines an important role to increase cultural pertinence and access to healthcare delivery (Rocha-Buelvas, 2017). This movement, stemming from the 'Epistemologies of the South' (De Sousa Santos, 2011), advocates for promoting a diverse 'ecology of knowledge systems' that places holders of traditional knowledge at the forefront of applied research endeavours (Basile, 2018;Laurell 2010).…”

The implementation of access and benefit-sharing (ABS) protocols and especially the Nagoya Protocol has created new hurdles for collaborations around Indigenous Traditional Knowledge and international collaborations. Overall, these frameworks push for the development of novel collaborative North-South agendas in order to improve the fair distribution of benefits. The Green Health project (Guatemala) aims to implement a culturally pertinent and mutually accepted framework for sustainable use, access and benefit-sharing (ABS) of traditional medicinal plants. It involves developing a consensus among indigenous groups, government officials, industry, and academia. We describe steps undertaken to design and implement an intercultural transdisciplinary process that promotes trust building and advances herbal medicine research in a respectful and innovative way. This involves joint definition of goals and methods. The consortium co-researched Q’eqchi’ Maya traditional medicine, collected voucher specimens of medicinal plants with traditional healers, identified their taxa, and later developed a literature-based evaluation identifying species for potential product development. No samples for further research and development are collected. By applying the emic-etic concept, the project was able to understand the main drivers of each stakeholder and the associated obstacles for reaching an ABS agreement. This results in the emergence of potential new drivers for developing evidence-based herbal medicine from the perspective of academia, policy and cooperation and grass-roots indigenous movements.

“…According to De Sousa (2010) and Laurell (2010) the neglected consideration of emic epistemologies in the shaping of public health policies should be contrasted with a turn toward an "ecology of knowledge-systems." This perspective includes traditional medicine, particularly herbal medicine, which has been recognized as playing a key role toward providing culturally pertinent and accessible health coverage (Rocha-Buelvas, 2017) and is in line with the WHO's guidelines, which pin-point acceptability as a factor fostering increased access to health provision services in diverse cultural settings (WHO, 2013).…”

“…Recent emphases shifts in public health discussions stemming from debates around ‘Epistemologies of the South’ ( De Sousa, 2011 ) propose that the route toward UHC in Mesoamerica is dependent on promoting “health sovereignty,” fostering a decolonial turn in favor of intercultural approaches that reflect the particular epidemiologies of the peoples ( Basile, 2018 ).

Traditional Herbal Medicine in Mesoamerica: Toward Its Evidence Base for Improving Universal Health Coverage

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The quality of health care in Mesoamerica is influenced by its rich cultural diversity and characterized by social inequalities. Especially indigenous and rural communities confront diverse barriers to accessing formal health services, leading to often conflicting plurimedical systems. Fostering integrative medicine is a fundamental pillar for achieving universal health coverage (UHC) for marginalized populations. Recent developments toward health sovereignty in the region are concerned with assessing the role of traditional medicines, and particularly herbal medicines, to foster accessible and culturally pertinent healthcare provision models. In Mesoamerica, as in most regions of the world, a wealth of information on traditional and complementary medicine has been recorded. Yet these data are often scattered, making it difficult for policy makers to regulate and integrate traditionally used botanical products into primary health care. This critical review is based on a quantitative analysis of 28 survey papers focusing on the traditional use of botanical drugs in Mesoamerica used for the compilation of the "Mesoamerican Medicinal Plant Database" (MAMPDB), which includes a total of 12,537 use-records for 2188 plant taxa. Our approach presents a fundamental step toward UHC by presenting a pharmacological and toxicological review of the cross-culturally salient plant taxa and associated botanical drugs used in traditional medicine in Mesoamerica. Especially for native herbal drugs, data about safety and effectiveness are limited. Commonly used cross-culturally salient botanical drugs, which are considered safe but for which data on effectiveness is lacking constitute ideal candidates for treatment outcome studies.
