民族药理学相关性：我们通过记录巴丹岛伊瓦坦人的传统做法，研究了当地知识和药用植物的使用。研究的目的：确定在巴丹岛，菲律宾土著居民的自我保健中使用的药用植物的类型，并调查这些植物的使用程度。药用植物和自然资源的保护日益重要；因此，本研究旨在向当地人收集有关巴丹岛上药用植物使用的信息。材料和方法：共采访了116名知情者，计算了用于治疗各种疾病的每种药用植物的知情者共识因子（ICF）、使用价值（UV）和保真度水平（FL）。这有助于就哪些物种对特定疾病有效以及物种的相对重要性建立共识，并使我们能够了解每种物种的潜在利用程度。结果：我们描述了112种药用植物对13类疾病的治疗作用。耳部和呼吸系统疾病以及怀孕、分娩和产后使用的ICF值最高（1.00）。木瓜Carica papaya、Stachytarpheta jamaicensis、Musa sapientum和Pedilanthus tithymaloides分别用于治疗便秘、割伤、腹泻和脱位骨折，其FL最高可达100%。紫花木槿的紫外值最高（0.67）。所有具有高紫外线的植物都用于外源疾病、某些传染病和寄生虫病、伤害、中毒和其他外部因素的后果，以及皮肤和皮下组织的疾病。除了用于内源性疾病和与生活方式有关的疾病和疾病外，辣木也用于循环系统疾病，其紫外线值为0.57，椰子用于泌尿生殖系统疾病，其紫外线值为0.56。结论：本研究表明，许多植物物种在巴丹岛的当地治疗实践中发挥着重要作用，传统医学知识在巴丹岛仍然得到利用并发挥着重要作用。这种丰富的传统民族医学知识的文献为我们提供了新的信息，不仅将提供对这些未记载的知识的认识，而且可以为药理学研究提供新的途径，以改善一系列疾病的医疗保健。2012爱思唯尔爱尔兰有限公司版权所有。
Ethnopharmacological relevance: We studied the local knowledge and uses of medicinal plants among the Ivatan people of Batan Island by documenting their traditional practices.Aim of the study: To identify the types of medicinal plants used in self-care by the indigenous people of Batan Island, the Philippines and to investigate the extent to which the plants are used. Conservation of medicinal plants and natural resources is becoming increasingly important; thus, this research aims to collect information from local people concerning the use of medicinal plants on Batan Island.Materials and methods: A total of 116 informants were interviewed, allowing for calculated informant consensus factors (ICF), use value (UV), and fidelity levels (FL) for each medicinal plant species used to cure various ailments. This helped to establish a consensus on which species are effective for particular ailments, as well as the species' relative importance, and enabled us to understand the extent of the potential utilization of each species.Results: We describe the therapeutic effects of 112 plant species used medicinally against 13 categories of ailments. The highest ICF value (1.00) was cited for diseases of the ear and respiratory system and for use during pregnancy, childbirth and the postnatal period. The maximum FL of 100% was found for Carica papaya, Stachytarpheta jamaicensis, Musa sapientum, and Pedilanthus tithymaloides, used for the treatment of constipation, cuts and wounds, diarrhea, and dislocations and fractures, respectively. The highest UV was for Hibiscus rosa-sinensis (0.67). All plants with high UV were used for exogenous diseases, certain infectious and parasitic diseases, injuries, poisonings and other consequences of external factors, and diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissues. In addition to its use for endogenous disease and lifestyle-related diseases and illnesses, Moringa oleifera is also used for diseases of the circulatory system, with a UV of 0.57 and Cocos nucifera is used for diseases of the genitourinary system, with a UV of 0.56.Conclusions: This study demonstrates that many plant species play an important role in local healing practices and that knowledge of traditional medicine is still utilized and plays a significant role on Batan Island. The documentation of this rich traditional ethno-medicinal knowledge has furnished us with novel information that not only will provide recognition of this undocumented knowledge but also could provide new avenues for pharmacological investigations to improve healthcare for a range of ailments.
