摘要

Malapandaram，也被称为山Pandaram，属于一个预定的部落，他们生活在印度喀拉拉邦Pathanamthitta和Kollam地区的森林山上。当前研究的目的是评估在其周围生长的各种用途的药物的定量知识。作为研究的一部分，通过部署训练有素的悉达治疗师，与部落定居点的各个首领建立了联系。在获得他们的信任后，通过一系列非正式的讨论，慢慢获得他们的同意，并收集他们对自然存在的药用植物和定居点周围的知识。结果本研究记录了203种植物的民族医学应用，隶属于65科136属，用于460种配方治疗18种不同疾病。很大比例的使用报告（UR）用于胃肠道（38 %），皮肤（30 %）和发热（22 %）。呼吸系统疾病和结核病患者体内的铁含量较高。以下植物在每个高FL组中都有大量应用：精神病（结核病），马兰（皮肤病），无花果（生殖），紫荆（血液病），金针兰（发热）和金针兰（糖尿病）。结论这些植物具有作为治疗真菌和细菌疾病的强效抗菌药物的潜力。使用GCMS的未来研究可能能够识别这些提取物中的活性化学物质，然后这些活性化学物质可能被用作铅分子来开发新的抗菌药物。进一步建议收集特有种、珍稀或濒危植物的种质资源，利用现代农艺方法进行栽培和繁殖。

A study on the ethnomedical knowledge of the Malappandaram Tribe in Pathanamthitta and Kollam districts of Kerala, India

Introduction

The Malapandaram, also known as the Hill Pandaram, belongs to a scheduled tribe of people who live in the forested mountains of Pathanamthitta and Kollam districts Kerala, India. The aim of the current study is to assess the quantitative knowledge on various uses of the medicinal growing in their surroundings.

Methodology

As part of the study contacts were established to various heads of tribal settlements by deploying trained siddha healers. After gaining their confidence, slowly obtained consent and collected information on their knowledge on medicinal plants naturally occurring and around the settlement by a series of non-formal discussions. These data were analyzed including the Informant Consensus Factor (Fic), Informant Agreement Ratio (IAR), Cultural Importance Index (CII) and Fidelity Level (FL) etc.

Results

The study documented ethnomedical applications of 203 plant species, belonging to 136 genera and 65 families used in 460 formulations for the treatment of 18 different disease categories. A large percentage of usage reports (UR) were for gastrointestinal (38 %), dermatological (30 %) and febrifuges (22 %). High Fic levels were found for respiratory illnesses and TB. The following plants had a lot of applications in each groups with a high FL: Psychotria hoffmannseggiana(tuberculosis), Syzygium malaccense (dermatological), Ficus exasperate (reproductive), Ardisia sonchifolia (blood ailments), Euodia simplicifolia(febrifuges) and Syzygium tranvacorium (diabetes).

Conclusion

The present investigations demonstrated the potential of these plants as a source of strong antimicrobial medications for the treatment of fungus and bacterial illnesses. Future research using GCMS may be able to identify the active chemicals in these extracts, which might then be utilised as lead molecules to develop novel antimicrobial medications. It is further suggested that plants classified as endemic, rare, or endangered be collected for germplasm which can he used for cultivation and propagation efforts using contemporary agronomic methods.

期刊介绍： Advances in Integrative Medicine (AIMED) is an international peer-reviewed, evidence-based research and review journal that is multi-disciplinary within the fields of Integrative and Complementary Medicine. The journal focuses on rigorous quantitative and qualitative research including systematic reviews, clinical trials and surveys, whilst also welcoming medical hypotheses and clinically-relevant articles and case studies disclosing practical learning tools for the consulting practitioner. By promoting research and practice excellence in the field, and cross collaboration between relevant practitioner groups and associations, the journal aims to advance the practice of IM, identify areas for future research, and improve patient health outcomes. International networking is encouraged through clinical innovation, the establishment of best practice and by providing opportunities for cooperation between organisations and communities.
