采用民族植物学、人类学和参与式农村评估等方法，对云南省金平县红发瑶族传统药用植物资源中国进行了调查研究。其中27种药用价值为文献首次记载，23种药用功能与文献报道不同。许多药用植物同时也是野生食用植物。当地瑶族人在一些特殊的日子里洗药浴，这是非常常见的治疗和预防疾病的方法。多年来，红发瑶族药材医生一直在保护药用植物及其栖息地。民间治愈者大多是老妇人，她们关心的是把自己的秘密传给年轻一代。他们担心，年轻一代对草药传统的了解还不够，无法让这种做法继续下去。作者认为，红发瑶族所使用的植物需要进一步的植物化学和药理学研究。(C)2003爱思唯尔爱尔兰有限公司。保留所有权利。
Sixty-six medicinal plant species traditionally collected and used by the Red-headed Yao people in Jinping county, Yunnan Province, SW China, were investigated and studied through the approaches of ethnobotany, anthropology and participatory rural appraisal (PRA). Among these plants, 27 species were recorded to have medicinal values for the first time recorded in literature, 23 species were found to have different medicinal functions from those recorded in the literature. Many medicinal herbs are simultaneously wild food plants. The local Yao people take medicinal baths on some special days very common to treat and prevent diseases. The Red-headed Yao medicinal herb doctors have conserved medicinal plants and their habitats over the years. Most of the folk healers are old women, who are concerned about passing on their secrets to the younger generation. They fear that the younger generations have not learned enough about the herbal traditions to keep the practice going. The authors suggest that plants used by the Red-headed Yao people need to be further studied phytochemically and pharmacologically. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
