This study adopts a descriptive and analytical approach, conducted within the institution with the collaboration of the local yachak, the midwife, and other wise members of the community. Practices related to the use of medicinal plants in the healing process are documented. To gather information, interviews and field diaries were used, the results of which were subsequently shared with students for their review and analysis in an educational context. Findings revealed the integration of traditional medical treatment with pedagogical approach in the classroom, as well as the feasibility of using medicinal plants as a teaching tool in the Kichwa language, through a structured guide.
