A Classic Maya Mystery of a Medicinal Plant and Maya Hieroglyphs
The Maya employed the k’an |K’AN| glyph in Late Classic (~750 CE) hieroglyphs on murals and polychrome pottery as an adjective meaning precious, yellow. On cacao drinking vessels, the k’an glyph was suggested as a descriptor for a flavoring ingredient, allspice, Pimenta dioica (L.) Merr. (Myrtaceae). However, our previous consensus ethnobotanical fieldwork with Q’eqchi’ Maya healers of Belize revealed another candidate among antidiabetic plants, …
Ethnobotany of Immunomodulatory Treatments Used by the Q’eqchi’ Maya of Belize
Traditional medicines used by Q’eqchi’ Maya to treat diabetic symptoms and their antiglycation potential
Sacred Maya incense, copal ( Protium copal - Burseraceae), has antianxiety effects in animal models
Anxiolytic activity and active principles of Piper amalago (Piperaceae), a medicinal plant used by the Q’eqchi’ Maya to treat susto, a culture-bound illness
The results suggest that the ethnobotanical use of this plant may have a pharmacological basis in its anxiolytic activity, as demonstrated in animal behaviour tests
Larix laricina bark, a traditional medicine used by the Cree of Eeyou Istchee
A combination of (+)-catechin and (−)-epicatechin underlies the in vitro adipogenic action of Labrador tea (Rhododendron groenlandicum), an antidiabetic medicinal plant of the Eastern James Bay Cree p…
Ethnobotanical study of medicinal plants by population of Valley of Juruena Region, Legal Amazon, Mato Grosso, Brazil
An ethnobotany of the Lukomir Highlanders of Bosnia & Herzegovina
BackgroundThis aim of this study is to report upon traditional knowledge and use of wild medicinal plants by the Highlanders of Lukomir, Bjelašnica, Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H). The Highlanders are an indigenous community of approximately 60 transhumant pastoralist families who speak Bosnian(Bosanski)and inhabit a highly biodiverse region of Europe. This paper adds to the growing record of traditional use of wild plants within isolated communiti…
The effect of Cree traditional medicinal teas on the activity of human cytochrome P450-mediated metabolism
Assessment of in vitro pharmacological effect of Neotropical Piperaceae in Gabaergic bioassays in relation to plants traditionally used for folk illness by the Yanesha (Peru)
In vitro inhibition of metabolism but not transport of gliclazide and repaglinide by Cree medicinal plant extracts
Indigenous Ex Situ Conservation of Q'eqchi' Maya Medicinal Plant Resources at the Itzamma Garden-Indian Creek, Belize, Central America
Populus balsamifera L. (Salicaceae) mitigates the development of obesity and improves insulin sensitivity in a diet-induced obese mouse model
Adipogenic constituents from the bark of Larix laricina du Roi (K. Koch; Pinaceae), an important medicinal plant used traditionally by the Cree of Eeyou Istchee (Quebec, Canada) for the treatment of t…
Enhancement of muscle cell glucose uptake by medicinal plant species of Canada's native populations is mediated by a common, Metformin-like mechanism
In vitro inhibitory effect of West African medicinal and food plants on human cytochrome P450 3A subfamily
Uncaria tomentosa acts as a potent TNF-α inhibitor through NF-κB
Inhibition of intestinal glucose absorption by anti-diabetic medicinal plants derived from the James Bay Cree traditional pharmacopeia
Ethnopharmacology of Q’eqchi’ Maya antiepileptic and anxiolytic plants
Actions of ethnobotanically selected Cree anti-diabetic plants on human cytochrome P450 isoforms and flavin-containing monooxygenase 3
Ethnopharmacological investigation of plants used to treat susto, a folk illness
Treatment of THP-1 cells with Uncaria tomentosa extracts differentially regulates the expression if IL-1β and TNF-α
Fataluku medicinal ethnobotany and the East Timorese military resistance
BackgroundAn ethnobotanical study of medicinal and poisonous plants used by the East Timor resistance was undertaken in the Lautem District of East Timor to study medicinal plant use in the region. Interviews were conducted with a single key consultant from the resistance army who belonged to the Fataluku culture. This study is of importance as a historical document and because no previous medicinal ethnobotanical studies on this region exist.Met…
Culturally Important Plants from Southern Belize
A Consensus Ethnobotany of the Q'eqchi' Maya of Southern Belize
Caracol, Belize
Recent studies of ancient Maya settlement and demography indicate population densities exceeding those achievable using traditional swidden farming techniques, and suggest that more intensive farming methodologies such as terracing were employed. This paper describes recent archaeological investigations at the major Maya ceremonial center of Caracol, Cayo District, Belize, a poorly known region of the southern Maya lowlands. Research concentrated…
Quantitative Ethnobotany of Two East Timorese Cultures
Fataluku medicinal ethnobotany and the East Timorese military resistance

Plant Use by the Q'eqchi' Maya of Belize in Ethnopsychiatry and Neurological Pathology

A Regression Analysis of Q'eqchi' Maya Medicinal Plants from Southern Belize
Traditional farmers’ knowledge of sorghum (sorghum bicolor [Poaceae]) landrace storability in Ethiopia
Intercropping in the Tropics
The practice of intercropping, the growing of two or more crops simultaneously in the same field is reviewed in this article. Intercropping, which developed as a traditional agriculture practice of small farmers of the tropics, has proved to be a highly beneficial practice in modern controlled studies. Substantial yield advantages of 30 to 60% over monocrops are obtained for many combinations. The authors examine the origin of the yield increases…
