Abstract
Project objectives were to document traditional knowledge; provide scientific validation of medicinal plants; promote inclusion of traditional medicines within local health care strategies, and training on methods of conservation. This powerpoint presentation outlines botanical, phytomedical and medicinal products derived from indigenous knowledge, as part of the larger Itzama Project: Sustainable Indigenous Development based on the Ethnobotanical Garden and Traditional Medicine Concept. The Kekchi Maya are originally from the Verapaz region of Guatemala.
