During the colonial period, the indigenous saraguros maintained their traditions, knowledge, and practices to restore and preserve the health of their members. Unfortunately, many of their practices and medicinal resources have not been documented. In this study, we sought to document the traditional healers' (yachakkuna saraguros) knowledge about medicinal and psychoactive plants used in the mesas and in magical-religious rituals. The study was conducted under a technical and scientific cooperation agreement between the Universidad Tecnica Particular de Loja (UTPL), the Direccion Provincial de Salud de Loja (DPSL), and the Saraguro Healers Council (Consejo de Sanadores de Saraguro).

Alternative methods of coping with stress are important toexamine, but there is a lack of awareness and acceptance of non-Western spiritual practices within the general public and mainstream scientific domains.

This phenomenological study was an investigation of the spiritual experience of participants of the Santo Daime Church, a syncretic religious group that uses ayahuasca as their sacrament. The purpose of this study was to explore the experience of spiritual guidance to enhance coping strategies and reduce stress.
