Ethnobotanical exploration of botanical remedies used by traditional healers and herbalists for voice disorders
Background
Traditional herbal medicine is an integral part of global healthcare, with a growing reliance on natural remedies. This study investigates herbal medicine practitioners' perspectives on plants used to treat voice disorders in Palestine.
Methods
A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted in the West Bank of Palestine, involving 100 herbal medicine practitioners who completed a semi-structured questionnaire between March and June 2023. Information on herbs was collected, including their Arabic names, parts used, and preparation methods. Plant samples were preserved and identified at the pharmacognosy lab at An-Najah National University. Quantitative analysis employed fidelity level, use-value, and choice value to assess cultural and ecological aspects.
Results
The herbalists recommended 20 herbs. The top five herbs identified were Anthemis cotula, Pimpinella anisum, Zingiber officinale, Clinopodium serpyllifolium, and Mentha spicata, with fidelity levels ranging from 76 % to 96 %. Leaves and fruits were the most commonly utilized plant parts, with the Lamiaceae and Apiaceae families being the most frequent.
Conclusion
Folkloric herbal medicine contributes to community healthcare and drug development. This study documents 20 indigenous Palestinian phyto-remedies that enhance vocal health, highlighting rich traditional knowledge. Collaboration between traditional healers and healthcare professionals can offer informed recommendations, while educational programs bridge traditional and contemporary healthcare. This pioneering research provides valuable insights globally, being the first to explore herbalists' indigenous knowledge of voice disorder remedies. While focusing on the West Bank, its implications extend worldwide, guiding future research into herbal remedies for voice disorders.
期刊介绍:
The European Journal of Integrative Medicine (EuJIM) considers manuscripts from a wide range of complementary and integrative health care disciplines, with a particular focus on whole systems approaches, public health, self management and traditional medical systems. The journal strives to connect conventional medicine and evidence based complementary medicine. We encourage submissions reporting research with relevance for integrative clinical practice and interprofessional education.
EuJIM aims to be of interest to both conventional and integrative audiences, including healthcare practitioners, researchers, health care organisations, educationalists, and all those who seek objective and critical information on integrative medicine. To achieve this aim EuJIM provides an innovative international and interdisciplinary platform linking researchers and clinicians.
The journal focuses primarily on original research articles including systematic reviews, randomized controlled trials, other clinical studies, qualitative, observational and epidemiological studies. In addition we welcome short reviews, opinion articles and contributions relating to health services and policy, health economics and psychology.
