To conclude the community (97%) agrees on the use of a prescription of traditional medicine for respiratory conditions and application of respiratory physiotherapy as a preventive measure so that the elderly do not aggravate when contracting a respiratory infection and be able to maintain their traditions of use of ancestral medicine that identifies them as cultural roots and of their own ethnic identity. |
