The plant is commonly used in protective rituals, and as an antiflu, analgesic and disinfectant medicine. &lt;strong&gt;Aim: &lt;/strong&gt;The research aims to extract and analyze the chemical composition and evaluation of its antifungal potential of the essential oil extracted from its leaves. &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;steam distillation was used for the extraction of essential oil, the evaluation of its components was performed by GC/MS, and the antifungal evaluation by the disc diffusion method. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The essential oil was obtained with a yield of 0.05%. 33 compounds were detected of which 30 were identified, corresponding to 99.28%; the most abundant molecules were: thujene &amp;lt;α-&amp;gt; (36.63%), followed by bicyclogermacrene with (8.76%), pinene &amp;lt;β-&amp;gt; with (8.32%) and limonene with 5.15%. Three of the four strains evaluated were affected by the oil at concentrations of 1.25%, inhibiting its growth. The strains were: &lt;em&gt;Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Trichophyton rubrum &lt;/em&gt;and&lt;em&gt; Microsporum canis&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The essential oil shows good antifungal activity, which could be less than 1.25%. In this way, this medicinal plant is valued by verifying ancestral knowledge in the use of medicinal plants by the Andean people of Ecuador.&lt;/p&gt;
