MEDICINE.-
In the intricate streets of Riobamba, one man rises as a beacon of hope for those seeking healing beyond conventional medicine. Juan Uzcha, known as ‘Yachac Condorazo Puruhá’, has been dedicated to ancestral and natural medicine for more than three decades, an art he has inherited from generations past and has perfected over the years.
With 31 years of experience behind him, Juan passionately defends natural and ancestral medicine as the best option to treat a wide range of diseases. From spars to discomfort caused by spells, he claims to have the solution. His knowledge ranges from the use of plants, herbs, carvings and bark from different regions of Ecuador, including the jungle, the Coast and the Sierra, to treat ailments ranging from head problems to more serious conditions such as gastric ulcers or problems kidneys. For Juan, this path began in his home, where his mother practiced cleansing and healing with medicinal waters, while his grandfather was a renowned bone picker. However, his quest for knowledge did not stop there. He immersed himself in self-education, reading books on shamanism and natural medicine to expand his knowledge and apply it in his daily practice.
Although the presence of healers like him has been a constant in Ecuadorian society for years, Juan regrets that there are people who take advantage of the gullibility of others, posing as healers without having the necessary knowledge or dedication. He, on the contrary, emphasizes the importance of years of preparation and dedication to practice this art responsibly and effectively. At his natural healing center, located on Gaspar de Villarroel and García Moreno streets, Juan offers his services to those looking for an alternative to conventional medicine. The consultation and cleaning cost from $20.00 dollars, adjusting to the type of work that his clients require.
In addition to serving at his location, Juan has traveled both nationally and internationally in search of new cleaning methods and knowledge about other cultures. His small business houses not only natural medicines and herbs, but also an altar where those who visit can find peace and healing. With his passion, knowledge and dedication, Juan Uzcha, ‘Yacha Condorazo Puruhá’, stands as a symbol of ancestral and natural medicine in Riobamba, offering hope and relief to those seeking a cure beyond the conventional.
