Abstract
A través de los tiempos, las plantas han sido indispensables para el hombre, toda vez que han sabido suplir necesidades básicas como: alimento, vestido, cobijo y salud, siendo en ese sentido cruciales en el tratamiento y prevención de diversas enfermedades padecidas a lo largo de su historia; saber que con el pasar del tiempo y gracias a la palabra ha sido transmitido hasta nuestros días y depositado en la memoria de los integrantes de las comunidades andino-amazónicas, así como en los sabios, chamanes, emolienteros y demás conocedores de este saber ancestral, que de no ser rescatado, revalorado y difundido, corre el riesgo de desaparecer. Por lo expuesto, la presente tesis se enfocó en determinar la flora medicinal empleada por el poblador del distrito de Guadalupe, Pacasmayo, La Libertad. Para ello, se aplicaron un total de 382 entrevistas semiestructuradas a los pobladores del mencionado distrito, empleando para tal fin la técnica de “bola de nieve. Se reportaron 110 especies empleadas por el poblador del distrito de Guadalupe; distribuidas en 105 géneros y 51 familias, donde son las Asteraceae, Lamiaceae, Fabaceae y Solanaceae las más destacadas por el número de especies que abarcan. Cabe destacar que dichas especies tratan, curan o alivian un total de 67 enfermedades, agrupadas en 12 categorías; dentro de las cuales, las relacionadas al sistema urinario, músculo esquelético, digestivo, nervioso, respiratorio y cardiovascular, resultaron ser las mayormente tratadas con estos recursos medicinales, según su Índice de Factor Consenso del Informante (FCI); así mismo de las 110 especies, según su Índice de valor de uso (IVU), 6 (6.6 % del total), resultaron ser de relevante importancia para la población, por lo que resulta indispensable promover la sostenibilidad de estos recursos promisorios, en pro del desarrollo y progreso, así como en la mejora de la calidad de vida del poblador peruano en general y del distrito de Guadalupe en particular.

Therefore, this thesis focused on determining the medicinal flora used by the inhabitants of the district of Guadalupe, Pacasmayo, La Libertad.
