During the pandemic, the Shipibo-Konibo indigenous people found refuge in the use of their medicinal plants to protect themselves. In the photo, a Shipibo-Konibo healer collects eucalyptus leaves from the community of Cantagallo in the city of Lima where 2000 indigenous people settled 20 years ago. According to their cosmology, the smoke from their specific selection of plants heals respiratory problems.
