传统使用药用植物对抗耳鼻喉疾病的部落普里亚地区，西孟加拉邦，印度

《生药学研究》，2023,15,4,687-692.DOI:10.5530/pres.15.4.073出版日期:2023年10月类型:原创文章作者:Rajani Kanta Mahato和Ghanashyam Mahato作者:Rajani Kanta Mahato, Ghanashyam Mahato*印度西孟加拉Jhalda Achhruram纪念学院植物系。摘要:背景:自古以来，天然植物部位就被广泛用于治疗和预防耳鼻喉相关疾病。耳鼻喉科相关疾病是由多种微生物引起的。普鲁里亚区有11个民族(布米吉、比霍尔、贡德、萨巴尔、哈尔瓦尔、库尔米、洛达、马尔帕哈里亚、萨达尔、奥拉恩、桑塔尔)。目的:本研究旨在记录西孟加拉邦普鲁里亚地区传统治疗耳鼻喉科相关疾病的草药植物。材料和方法:采用半结构化问卷调查、传统治疗师访谈和焦点小组讨论的方法收集民族植物学数据。结果:本调查列出了西孟加拉邦Purulia地区20个植物科的24种有益于治疗耳鼻喉疾病的植物。结论:中药资料的主要来源是中医。这个信息已经口头相传了一代又一代，但它似乎正在从现代社会中消失，因为年轻人对继续这个传统不感兴趣。因此，民族植物学的传统智慧应该数字化，以备将来在印度参考。关键词:耳鼻喉科，民族植物学，PuruliaView:PDF (292.56 KB)
