"Poisons and Remedies of Amazonia" is an account of the journey through medicinal herbs and my conversations with Masheñ Chomoch and members of the native Ashaninka-Yanesha 'San Jeronimo' Community in Puerto Yurinaki, in the Selva Central of the Peruvian Amazonia. The book can be read as a mini-story immersed in indigenous botany and consists of ten chapters enriched with numerous photographs, while the interactive version also contains in-depth videos. This booklet is in no way to be considered a medical handbook, but rather a mini breviary of curiosities on some of the ancient remedies used by the indigenous Ashaninka and Yanesha people of this area that can serve as a guide for your research.
