摘要

背景和目的:轶事证据表明,农村人用来击退蛇的植物疗法和在蛇中毒期间使用的植物疗法有时是有效的,并在被蛇咬伤的受害者中提供了可观的存活率。这项研究的重点是记录在加纳Ejisu Juabeng区的土著人中,从家园中击退蛇的植物,以及在被蛇咬伤时作为干预措施使用的植物。方法:对贫困人口进行个人访谈。记录了有关植物的信息,包括学名、科、当地名称、生长习性、使用部位、制备方法和给药方法。植物标本馆凭证用于在物种水平上识别植物。确定了每个物种的引用频率(FC)和引用指数的相对频率(RFC)。结果:记录了23种药用植物;据报道,13科15属17种植物被用作蛇咬中毒的解药,9科9属10种被用作驱蛇剂。以夹竹桃科植物为主(12.5%),以草本(48%)和乔木(39%)为主。叶(58.8%)和根(29.4%)经常用于抗蛇毒血清制剂中,并且大多作为膏药局部应用(78.5%)或作为输液/煎剂口服应用(21.4%)。对于驱蛇植物来说,植物的强烈气味是产生驱蛇效果的主要原因。最常见的植物是烟草(相对引用频率=0.26)、大葱(RFC=0.14)、蛇床子(RFC=0.18)和洋葱(RFC=0.18)。

An Ethnobotanical Study on Medicinal Plants Used as Antidote for Snakebite and as Snake Repellent in the Ejisu-Juabeng District of Ghana
Background and objectives: Anecdotal evidence shows that plant remedies used by rural folks to repel snakes and those used during snake envenomation are sometimes effective and offer an appreciable survival rate among victims of snake bites. This study focused on documenting plants that repel snakes from homesteads and those administered as interventions during snake bites among indigenes of Ejisu-Juabeng District, Ghana. Method: Personal interviews with indigenes was carried out. Information about the plants including scientific names, families, local names, growth habit, the used part, method of preparation and administration were recorded. Herbarium vouchers were used to identifying the plants at species level. The frequency of citation (FC) and relative frequency of citation index (RFC) for each species was determined. Results: Twenty-three medicinal plants were documented; 17 plants belonging to 15 genera from 13 families were reported to be used as antidote for snakebite poisoning while ten species belonging to nine genera from nine families were reported as snake repellents. Plants belonging to the family Apocynaceae were the most predominant (12.5%). The anti-venin plants mostly mentioned were herbs (48%) and trees (39%). Leaves (58.8%) and roots (29.4%) were frequently used in antivenin formulations and were mostly applied topically (78.5%) as poultices or orally (21.4%) as infusions/decoctions. For snake repelling plants the strong odour from plants was mostly responsible for the repellent effect. The most commonly named plants were Nicotiana tobacum (Relative frequency of citation=0.26), Allium sativum (RFC=0.14), Rauwolfia serpentine (RFC=0.18) and Allium cepa (RFC=0.18). Conclusion: This study has revealed the importance of herbal medicine used in the prevention and treatment of snakebites among indigenes of Ejisu-Juabeng District.
