在世界上，特别是在南非，药用植物的使用对初级卫生保健作出了重大贡献。本文介绍了对南非东开普省用于伤口治疗的植物的初步调查结果。从诊所、医院的调查以及对传统治疗师和农村居民的访谈中收集到的民族医学信息表明，西野葛、刺花蓼、绿牡丹和小檗是该省最常用的伤口治疗植物。甲醇提取物对革兰氏阳性菌和革兰氏阴性菌均有显著的抑制作用，而丙酮提取物仅对革兰氏阳性菌有抑制作用。nd的提取物。当浓度为5.0 mg/ml时，小檗无抑菌活性。一般来说，这些植物的抗菌特性似乎证明了它们用于治疗该省因细菌感染而污染的伤口是合理的。1999爱思唯尔科学爱尔兰有限公司版权所有。
The use of medicinal plants in the world, and especially in South Africa, contributes significantly to primary health care. This paper presents the findings of an initial survey of plants used For the treatment of wounds in the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. Ethnomedical information gathered from surveys at clinics, hospitals as well as interviews with traditional healers and rural dwellers has revealed that Grewia occidentalis, Polystichum pungens, Cheilanthes viridis and Malva parvifolia are the most commonly used plants for the treatment of wounds in the province. The methanol extracts of G. occidentalis, P. pungens and C. viridis showed significant inhibition against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, while the acetone extract of P. pungens inhibited the gram-positive bacteria only. Extracts from nd. parvifolia did not show any antibacterial activity at 5.0 mg/ml. Generally, the antibacterial property of the plants appears to have justified their use for the treatment of wounds, which are contaminated through bacterial infection, in the province.
