Abstract
Resumen: La Estrategia de Medicina Tradicional de la Organización Mundial de la Salud busca apoyar a los estados en el desarrollo de políticas, iniciativas y planes de acción que fortalezcan el rol de la medicina tradicional y complementaria en la cobertura universal de salud, objetivo común que se traza en el llamado de la comunidad internacional por generar mecanismos de prevención ante eventuales pandemias o epidemias. Este tipo de estrategias conlleva retos y fronteras que plantean la exploración de enfoques integrales como One Health para el estudio de los vínculos materia-información-energía, mente-cuerpo-espíritu o comunidad humana-natural-sagrada, relaciones indispensables para comprender el proceso de salud-enfermedad desde la óptica compleja de la red de vida. En este marco, este trabajo ofrece una aproximación a la aplicación del Sistema Tukuypaq de armonización físico-espiritual, basada en el manejo integral de plantas maestras y prácticas rituales de diferentes culturas y tiempos, desde un abordaje transdisciplinario. De esta manera se evidencia las potencialidades de las sabidurías ancestrales para el campo de la medicina de la conservación respecto a la importancia de la adaptación-complementación-traslación de los principios que orientan el curanderismo con las prácticas médicas actuales ante eventuales pandemias o epidemias.
Abstract: The Traditional Medicine Strategy of the World Health Organization seeks to support states in the development of policies, initiatives and action plans that strengthen the role of traditional and complementary medicine in universal health coverage, a common objective that is outlined in the call of the international community to generate prevention mechanisms against possible pandemics or epidemics. This type of strategies entails challenges and frontiers that pose the exploration of comprehensive approaches such as One Health for the study of the links matter-information-energy, mind-body-spirit or human-natural-sacred community, relationships essential to understanding the process of health-disease from the complex perspective of the web of life. In this framework, this work offers an approach to the application of the Tukuypaq System of physical-spiritual harmonization, based on the comprehensive management of master plants and ritual practices from different cultures and times, from a transdisciplinary approach. In this way, the potential of ancestral wisdom for the field of conservation medicine is evident regarding the importance of adaptation-complementation-translation of the principles that guide quackery with current medical practices in the face of possible pandemics or epidemics.
