Mythical Plants of the Huaringas – Huancabamba (Perú) And its Data Analytics

The purpose of this article was to explain the behavior of the mythical plants of El Faique in Huancabamba (Huaringas, Perú). The aim was to determine how mythical and medicinal plants in Andean-Amazonian communities are used in healing and how they are linked to health and healing in the human beings of these peoples. The research was interdisciplinary in nature and combined contributions from literature, philosophy, history, anthropology, traditional medicine, and data analysis. The study considered three plants: shimir (Culle language), ñangay (Quechua language), and faique (Mochica or Yunga language). The results show that there are three indigenous languages in the mountains of Piura (Huancabamba) that preserve pre-Hispanic plants as myths and cures in the health of the communities. It is concluded that traditional plants remain relevant both in mythical narratives and in current cures.

Abstract

The purpose of this article was to explain the behavior of the mythical plants of El Faique in Huancabamba (Huaringas, Perú). The aim was to determine how mythical and medicinal plants in Andean-Amazonian communities are used in healing and how they are linked to health and healing in the human beings of these peoples. The research was interdisciplinary in nature and combined contributions from literature, philosophy, history, anthropology, traditional medicine, and data analysis. The study considered three plants: shimir (Culle language), ñangay (Quechua language), and faique (Mochica or Yunga language). The results show that there are three indigenous languages in the mountains of Piura (Huancabamba) that preserve pre-Hispanic plants as myths and cures in the health of the communities. It is concluded that traditional plants remain relevant both in mythical narratives and in current cures.
