Resumen
La presente investigación visualizó la problemática de que la mayoría de adultos mayores no acuden al control periódico, abandonando el tratamiento farmacológico porque la mayoría son indígenas, campesinos, con costumbres arraigadas que no se adaptan a la atención de salud con medicina farmacológica, por lo que se propuso el objetivo de describir el cuidado intercultural en la medicina ancestral para el adulto mayor que acude al Centro de Salud Mariscal Sucre, durante el periodo de mayo a agosto 2019. Se aplicó la metodología cualitativa, fenomenológica, con uso de la entrevista aplicada a seis adultos mayores, cuyos resultados indicaron que las principales plantas medicinales utilizadas por parte de este grupo prioritario, según su cultura ancestral, fueron: ruda, matico, manzanilla, canela, orégano, cebolla blanca, anís estrellado, cola de caballo, que forman parte de tradiciones y cultura adquirida de antepasados, como expresiones de cuidados culturales, que son económicos en comparación con los fármacos, por consiguiente, existe la influencia familiar para la preservación de los cuidados culturales mediante plantas medicinales; más aún porque las personas mayores de 65 años, tienen creencias arraigadas por los saberes ancestrales, buscando primero al curandero o empleando plantas medicinales, cuando sienten alguna dolencia ellos o algún miembro de su familia, manifestando que en el centro de salud existen limitaciones sobre la información y conocimientos sobre los cuidados culturales. Se concluye que el centro de salud no se orienta hacia el uso de la medicina ancestral, recomendándose una guía de plantas medicinales para cumplir con las disposiciones constitucionales vigentes.
