hoja de coca, propiedades medicinales, chacchar, uso tradicional, alcaloideResumen
Esta revisión de literatura proporciona una visión integral de la hoja de coca, planta originaria de la región andina, valorada por sus propiedades estimulantes y medicinales, pero a menudo estigmatizada por su asociación con la cocaína. El presente articulo narra los principales usos tradicionales que se le daba a la hoja de coca en la cultura incaica, las propiedades medicinales que los incas le atribuían a la planta, su composición química, mencionando los principales componentes bioactivos y sus efectos la salud y nutrición humana, así como también los posibles efectos adversos que puede ocasionar su consumo. Se mencionan las diversas formas de uso, como el masticado tradicional (chacchado), en tés, cataplasmas, entre otros. Se pone énfasis en diferenciar el uso tradicional y cultural de la hoja de coca del uso ilegal de la cocaína. Además, se abordan las implicaciones legales y posturas políticas de los principales países productores de la hoja de coca.
