WIÑA Botanicals
REINTRODUCING AND EXPANDING TRADITIONAL AMAZONIAN MEDICINES
Wiña Botanicals is an initiative that arises from the Sieko’pai families of the Secoya Remolino community in the Ecuadorian Amazon.
In collaboration with Ojas Naturals, we are working to use our knowledge of plants to address the cultural and environmental losses we are suffering.
The culture and traditions of the Sieko’pai people are diverse and rich, the context in which the community lives has forced our people to carry out economic activities such as the planting of African palm and mining, activities that deeply affect our own culture and environment.
With the purpose and need to protect and preserve the Sieko’pai Amazonian territory, the goal of these medicinal extracts is to revitalize and value the ancestral knowledge in terms of herbalism and traditional Amazonian medicines, generate resources to support conservation, educational projects in the territory, and create a sustainable economy within the community.
By generating resources from our own knowledge about ancestral plants and medicines, not only economic resources are generated for the sustainability of the culture, but also the transmission of knowledge from generation to generation is enriched and valued. Through this, our hope is to protect the diversity and balance necessary for life and permanence of the Amazon basin.
