    The cultural hybridization in health allows to recognize diverse practices that coexist in the same space and time, a process that is fulfilled in Saraguro, county of the South-Ecuadorian Andes with an indigenous and mixed ethnic population with health experiences that respond to different rationalities. Objetive: Analyzing the conceptions of Saraguro healers with respect to health hybridization. Method: The present is a qualitative-interpretative study, with interviews to wise people of the place; the worked categories are: Hybridization, conceptualization and hybrid reality, to which the integration challenge was added. The interviews were recorded and then transcribed to word for processing, the Atlas.ti program was used. The triangulation was carried out with a university expert in ancestral medicine subjects and the bibliography consulted. Results: The healers of Saraguro keep their ancestral worldview in the phenomena of health-disease, in some practices expressions of other cultures coexist, this hybridization in health shows Andean knowledge with elements of Western medicine and religious order. Conclusions: In Saraguro the Ancestral Medicine is still valid through the healers, wise in healing according to the Andean cosmovision. The Andean healers keep their practice according to the Andean conceptions of the health-disease process. Ancestral health practices undergo a process of hybridization between the ancestral and the Western as well as religious elements
