摘要

背景:需要了解人类和植物利用之间的复杂联系,以解决当今的一些社会经济和健康挑战。材料和方法:本研究的重点是对尼日利亚老奥约国家公园宿主社区具有较高文化和药用价值的植物。通过与草药供应商的焦点小组讨论、对作为关键线人的草药医师的访谈以及实地观察,收集了当地知识。采用滚雪球抽样法筛选关键举报人。焦点小组讨论的参与者根据每个商业市场中遇到的草药供应商的数量而有所不同。结果:共有药用植物78种,隶属于39科,其中乔木47种,灌木8种,草本植物23种。发现了40种疾病,分为31种治疗和预防方法。非洲鸡ellia,决明子和Alstonia boonei被用于治疗常见疾病,如疟疾,痢疾和淋病。药用植物的采集来源和给药方式各不相同。结论:本研究成果将有利于传统医药的发展、资源的利用和新企业的发展。建议对药用植物的社会经济重要性进行全面的定量研究。

Capturing indigenous knowledge on medicinal plants use: Case study of selected communities in old Oyo National Park, Nigeria
Background: Understanding the intricate link between humans and the plants use is needed to address some of to-day’s socio-economic and health challenges. Materials and Methods: The study focused on plants that have high cultural and medicinal values for the host communities of Old Oyo National Park, Nigeria. Local Knowledge was captured through focus group discussions with herbal vendors, interviews with herbalists as key informants and through field observations. Snowball sampling technique was used in selecting the key informants. Participants selected for the Focus Group Discussion varies with the number of herbal vendors encountered in each commercial market. Results: In total, 78 medicinal plant species belonging to 39 families including 47 trees, 8 shrubs and 23 herbaceous plants were documented. Forty ailments categorized into thirty one treatments and prevention methods were discovered. Kigellia africana, Cassia spp and Alstonia boonei were used for treating common ailments like malaria, dysentery and gonorrhea. Sources of collecting the medicinal plant species and their mode of administration were different. Conclusion: The research outcome will contribute to advancement of traditional medicine, resource efficiency and development of new enterprise among the locals. Comprehensive quantitative study of social- economic importance of the medicinal plants is recommended.
