Antimalarial Use of Malagasy Plants Is Poorly Correlated with Performance in Antimalarial Bioassays
Ethnobotanical Study of the Medicinal Plants Known by Men in Ambalabe, Madagascar
Madagascar has high biodiversity and endemism that are threatened by growing human populations and climate change. Species loss has potential impacts on traditional knowledge and community health. The aim of this project was to identify medicinal plants known and used by men in the Commune of Ambalabe sourced from the Vohibe Forest in eastern Madagascar. Interviews were conducted that resulted in collection of 137 plant species used by men to tre…
Palms and Palm Use in Ambalabe, a Community in Eastern Madagascar
Twenty-six native palm species of three genera were identified for Vohibe Forest, eastern Madagascar. In addition, two introduced (Cocos nucifera L., Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) and one native/possibly introduced species (Raphia farinifera (Gaertn.) Hyl.) are cultivated in the area. Local participants of an inventory on palm species and uses mentioned seven native species of two genera, including two folk species, but no plants could be found and no…
Medicinal plants used to treat the most frequent diseases encountered in Ambalabe rural community, Eastern Madagascar
Background Traditional medicine remains the only health care available in many rural areas in Madagascar like the rural community of Ambalabe, located in a very remote area in the eastern part of the country. With limited access to modern medicine, the local population uses medicinal plants to treat most diseases. In this study, we aimed to inventory medicinal plants used by local people and how those relate to the treatment of the most frequent …
Medicinal plants sold in the markets of Antananarivo, Madagascar
The markets of Antananarivo have always played a vital cultural role in the lives of urban Malagasy, but our study shows they also play an economic role not only for urban residents but rural harvesters as well. Continued research and monitoring of the non-timber forest products trade in Antananarivo is needed to better understand the impact of trade on the wild plant populations
Ethnobotanical and economic value of Ravenala madagascariensisSonn. in Eastern Madagascar
Ravenala madagascariensis is very important to the Ambalabe communities because for local population, it represents the Betsimisaraka cultural and traditional use of the plant for house building. Moreover, none of its parts are discarded. The harvest and sale of R. madagascariensis for building materials can also provide an additional source of income to the family. Besides, using Ravenala in house construction reduces the use of slow growing tre…
Medicinal plants used by women from Agnalazaha littoral forest (Southeastern Madagascar)
Background The country of Madagascar is renowned for its high level of biodiversity and endemism, as well as the overwhelming pressures and threats placed on the natural resources by a growing population and climate change. Traditional medicine plays an important role in the daily lives of the Malagasy for various reasons including limited access to healthcare, limited markets and traditional values. The objective of this study was to assess the …
Toxicity of medicinal plants used in traditional medicine in Northern Peru
Minimum inhibitory concentrations of medicinal plants used in Northern Peru as antibacterial remedies
Herbal mixtures in traditional medicine in Northern Peru
The investigation of plant mixtures used in traditional medicine in Northern Peru yielded a total of 974 herbal preparations used to treat 164 different afflictions. Psychosomatic disorders were, with almost 30% of all recipes applied, the most important afflictions treated. In most cases, healers used only one or two mixtures to treat an illness. However, up to 49 different preparations were used to treat the same disease. This indicates a high …
