Healing the world through Mesoamerican indigenous wisdom
Essence
For centuries, our ancestors have been using plants to heal illness
Green Health creates a new paradigm of Universal Health Coverage based on scaling up natural and ancestral medicine for the regeneration of the planet and wellbeing of all species.
Through preventive and regenerative medicine we focus on maximizing wellbeing in healthy ecosystems by fostering value chains in herbal medicine, promoting a circular economy and green jobs.
Participatory research allows us to co-create robust scientific knowledge and drive innovation in holistic health, as well as global education on Mesoamerican Indigenous Peoples' ancestral medical science.
Objectives
In the Mayan worldview, 9 is the number of Life, like the nine months of human gestation.
Anthropological
Contribute to Mesoamerica's ethnographic research on indigenous people’s knowledge on wellbeing and health, strengthening their own capacity to develop this process prioritizing a transdisciplinary focus in anthropological research.
Epistemic
To position Mesoamerican knowledge as scientific knowledge within the global mosaic through the systematization of their wisdom on human-animal-environmental well-being, preventive health, ethnomedicine, herbal medicine among others, based on its recognition as scientific knowledge associated to an ancestral epistemology.
Global Health
Contribute to the global paradigm shift towards a universal health coverage model based on the ancestral knowledge of Mesoamerican indigenous peoples through sustainable use of natural elements, herbal medicine and regenerative principles. We move towards an accessible preventive and regenerative medicine.
Environmental
Regenerate and protect the ecosystems through reforestation of biodiverse native species. Foster incentives to care for biodiversity derived from medicinal species based on strong research, assisted reproduction, greenhouses, agroforestry nurseries, community seed banks and germplasm storage.
Socio-educational
Generate spaces for exchange and mutual learning between diverse knowledge systems, so that Mayan science and epistemology on regenerative health issues can be known, revalued, respected and used in the paradigm shift towards the construction of a human society in symbiosis with their living environment.

Innovation
To be global benchmarks for innovation in health through the technical-epistemic syncretism of traditional medicinal knowledge and state-of-the-art regenerative technologies, in order to offer robust solutions to solve the challenges of the modern world in terms of human health, animal health (domestic and wild), plant health (agriculture) and agroforestry systems.
Economic
Create jobs and opportunities for traditional healers and their families through innovative value chains in a circular economy. These 'green' jobs are based on respectful and symbiotic relationships with Mother Earth, fostering regenerative processes in the surrounding ecosystems.

Public Health Policy
Contribute to Guatemala's public health policy by incorporating traditional herbal medicine within the primary healthcare programs, with preventive, nutritional security and therapeutic approaches. This will develop useful tools for public health personnel, proposals for programs and projects derived from science and traditional indigenous knowledge.
