Abstract

Despite access to conventional medical therapies, the use of complementary medicine is increasing in many communities. The present study aimed to evaluate the popular knowledge of medicinal plants used to treat diabetes and its co-morbidities, in four rural communities in the municipality of Vitória de Santo Antão, in the Brazilian State of Pernambuco. The relative importance of a particular medicinal plant was calculated based on the percentage of mentions (IR%). The similarity between the communities was quantified using the Sørensen index (Ss).Interviews were conducted with 141 patients, of these, 83 reported use of medicinal plants as an alternative treatment. Overall there were 186 mentions, covering 61 ethnospecies. In relation to IR%, Mentha × villosa presented the highest value.Knowing the factors that influence selection of medicinal plants sheds light on the mechanisms through which patterns of use develop and this may help to preserve this knowledge.

巴西东北部药用植物与糖尿病的民族药理学研究

尽管可以获得传统医学疗法，但在许多社区，补充医学的使用正在增加。本研究旨在评估巴西伯南布哥州Vitória de Santo ant市四个农村社区中用于治疗糖尿病及其合并症的药用植物的流行知识。特定药用植物的相对重要性是根据提及的百分比(IR%)来计算的。群落间相似性采用Sørensen指数(Ss)进行量化。对141名患者进行了访谈，其中83人报告使用药用植物作为替代治疗。总共有186次提及，涉及61个人种。相对IR%，薄荷×绒毛最高。了解影响药用植物选择的因素有助于阐明利用模式形成的机制，这可能有助于保存这一知识。

期刊介绍： The Boletín Latinoamericano y del Caribe de Plantas Medicinales y Aromáticas (BLACPMA), [Latin American and Caribbean Bulletin of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants]; currently edited by the publishing house MS-Editions, is a bi-monthly international publication that publishes original peerreviewed research in the field of medicinal and aromatic plants, with nearly 20 years of experience. BLACPMA is a scientific journal that publishes two types of articles: Reviews (only in English) and Original Articles (Spanish or English), its main lines of action being agronomy, anthropology and ethnobotany, industrial applications, botany, quality and standardization, ecology and biodiversity, pharmacology, phytochemistry, pharmacognosy, regulatory and legislative aspects. While all areas of medicinal plants are welcome and the experimental approaches used can be broad and interdisciplinary; other areas of research that are not mentioned depend on the Editorial Committee for their acceptance.
