Resumen
La investigación tuvo como objetivo conocer el uso tradicional de las plantas medicinales en la Comunidad Nativa Callería. Se utilizó un método de investigación no experimental descriptivo, recopilando antecedentes y realizando encuestas con preguntas semiestructuradas y observación directa. Se encuestaron a los pobladores y se procesaron los datos con Microsoft Excel. Los resultados muestran que el 77.8% de los pobladores conoce el uso de plantas medicinales, el 55% adquirió este conocimiento de sus padres, y las madres son las que más saben (67%). El 66.6% cree que este conocimiento no se está perdiendo. Se identificaron 29 especies de plantas medicinales, siendo la corteza y las hojas las partes más usadas. El 76.5% de las personas trata enfermedades con plantas medicinales y el 55.6% obtiene estas plantas de los bosques. Actualmente, el 66.7% considera que las plantas son abundantes en su comunidad. Se concluye que el conocimiento tradicional de las plantas medicinales es valioso en la comunidad, transmitido principalmente por los padres, con las madres teniendo el mayor conocimiento.
Abstract The research aimed to understand the traditional knowledge of medicinal plants in the Native Community of Callería. A non-experimental descriptive research method was used, gathering background information and conducting surveys with semi-structured questions and direct observation.

The results indicate that 77.8% of the community members are knowledgeable about the use of medicinal plants, with 55% having acquired this knowledge from their parents, and mothers being the most knowledgeable (67%). 66.6% believe that this knowledge is not being lost. 29 species of medicinal plants were identified, with bark and leaves being the most used parts. 76.5% of the people treat illnesses with medicinal plants, and 55.6% obtain these plants from the forests. Currently, 66.7% believe that the plants are abundant in their community. It is concluded that traditional knowledge of medicinal plants holds significant value in the Callería native community, primarily passed down by parents, with mothers having the most extensive knowledge.
