It documents 23 native and cultivated species used to treat digestive, respiratory, inflammatory, and gynecological conditions, with women as the main transmitters of this knowledge. The historical Diaguita territory covers the Norte Chico region of Chile, where these practices remain active and adapt to contemporary contexts, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the importance of articulating traditional knowledge with modern science is emphasized for the safe and ethical management of these plants within inclusive health systems.
