本文探讨了北方秘鲁的药用植物的传统使用,特别侧重于皮乌拉,兰巴耶克,拉Libertad,卡哈马卡和圣马丁的部门。北方秘鲁代表了古老的安第斯中部“健康轴心”的中心,从厄瓜多尔延伸到玻利维亚。该地区传统治疗方法的根源至少可以追溯到莫切时期(AC 100-800)。虽然在殖民地时期报道的使用中的植物中有大约50%已经从流行的药典中消失,但人口的植物知识比安第斯地区的其他地区要广泛得多。收集、鉴定了510种药用植物,并记录了它们的俗名、传统用途和应用。最具代表性的科是菊科(69种)、豆科(35种)、唇形科(25种)和茄科(21种)。大戟科有12种,伞形科和禾本科有11种。用于治疗“魔法/仪式”疾病的种类最多(207种),其次是呼吸系统疾病(95种)、泌尿系统疾病(85种)、女性器官感染(66种)、肝病(61种)、炎症(59种)、胃病(51种)和风湿病(45种)。使用的大多数植物(83%)原产于秘鲁。三分之二的病例使用了新鲜植物,通常是野生采集的,最常见的应用包括摄入草药制剂或将植物材料用作膏药。
This paper examines the traditional use of medicinal plants in Northern Peru, with special focus on the Departments of Piura, Lambayeque, La Libertad, Cajamarca, and San Martin. Northern Peru represents the center of the old Central Andean "Health Axis," stretching from Ecuador to Bolivia. The roots of traditional healing practices in this region go at least as far back as the Moche period (AC 100–800). Although about 50% of the plants in use reported in the colonial period have disappeared from the popular pharmacopoeia, the plant knowledge of the population is much more extensive than in other parts of the Andean region. 510 plant species used for medicinal purposes were collected, identified and their vernacular names, traditional uses and applications recorded. The families best represented were Asteraceae with 69 species, Fabaceae (35), Lamiaceae (25), and Solanaceae (21). Euphorbiaceae had twelve species, and Apiaceae and Poaceae 11 species. The highest number of species was used for the treatment of "magical/ritual" ailments (207 species), followed by respiratory disorders (95), problems of the urinary tract (85), infections of female organs (66), liver ailments (61), inflammations (59), stomach problems (51) and rheumatism (45). Most of the plants used (83%) were native to Peru. Fresh plants, often collected wild, were used in two thirds of all cases, and the most common applications included the ingestion of herb decoctions or the application of plant material as poultices.
