Ecuador is a pluricultural country, which is reflected in its history of medical pluralism. This has become especially apparent with the spread throughout the country of COVID-19. This paper discusses survey results on the use of natural medicines to prevent the virus. Respondents in the region of Santo Domingo de los Colorados indicate they have turned to a variety of natural remedies, such as lemon, ginger, and garlic, during the pandemic. This contributes to a growing body of studies that analyze the use of natural medicines to treat or prevent COVID-19.
