Cecilia Aguinda (62), a kichwa indigenous woman of the Toyuca community, poses for a portrait with the medicinal plants that she used as a natural to heal the wounds on your hands and feet caused by contact with oil. She was fishing in the early morning of April 7. The darkness did not allow her to see the oil in the water. Her fishing net got caught in the river, she and her son suffered several skin injuries while pulling the net out of the water. Cecilia healed her wounds with plants from her garden, she did not have specialized medical attention. Like her, more than 27 thousand affected indigenous people turned to her knowledge to heal their wounds. April 27,2021. Toyuca, Ecuador. Johis Alarcón
