Abstract

The present study deals with the ethnomedicines used by migratory shepherds in an Indian Trans-Himalayan area. Shepherding depends on traditional healthcare practices. A non-probabilistic sampling technic was used for the selection of the research participants; the information was collected through 8 extensive field visits. The data was analyzed by the interpretation of the interviews since a qualitative as well as quantitative perspectives. A comparison with previous studies in the area was donebased on literature research.The results of this study show that shepherds in tribal areas are highly dependent on medicinal plants, they report the use of 58 taxa to handle their main health problems. They prefer 20 taxa, to treat; coughs, asthma, colds, throat complaints, general pain, fever, dysentery, diarrhea and urinary infections, which are the main reported illnesses. Mainly they use the fresh plant juices of these taxa. Two health issues are remarkable highblood pressure and jaundice.

印度喜马偕尔邦金纳尔地区巴斯帕山谷的跨喜马拉雅拉克查姆-奇库尔野生动物保护区的牧羊人使用的药用植物

本研究涉及印度跨喜马拉雅地区迁徙牧羊人使用的民族药。牧羊依赖于传统的医疗保健实践。研究对象的选择采用非概率抽样技术;这些信息是通过8次广泛的实地访问收集的。通过对访谈的解释，从定性和定量的角度来分析数据。在文献研究的基础上，与前人的研究进行了比较。本研究结果表明，部落地区的牧羊人高度依赖药用植物，他们报告使用58个分类群来处理他们的主要健康问题。他们喜欢20个分类群来处理;咳嗽、哮喘、感冒、喉咙不适、全身疼痛、发烧、痢疾、腹泻和泌尿系统感染是报告的主要疾病。它们主要使用这些分类群的新鲜植物汁液。两大健康问题是高血压和黄疸。
