本文代表了巴基斯坦斯瓦特地区 Chail 山谷的第一项民族植物学研究，并提供了该地区部落人民使用药用植物的重要信息。本研究的目的是记录当地植物的药用用途并建立物种多样性的民族植物学名录。在本研究中，对 142 名居民（年龄范围在 31-75 岁之间）进行了半结构化访谈。使用相对引用频率 (RFC) 分析民族植物学数据，以确定该地区众所周知和最有用的物种。目前的研究工作报告了 Chail 山谷共有 50 种植物，属于 35 科 48 属。牛至 (Origanum vulgare)、天竺葵 (Geranium wallichianum) 和 Skimmia laureola 的相对引用频率 (RFC) 值最高，为山谷居民所熟知。大多数记录在案的植物是草本植物（58%），其次是灌木（28%）、乔木（12%），最后是攀缘植物（2%）。最常用的植物部分是叶子（33%），其次是根（17%）、果实（14%）、整株植物（12%）、根茎（9%）、茎（6%）、树皮（5%）和种子（4%）。汤剂是草药食谱中最常见的制备方法。山谷里最常治疗的疾病是泌尿系统疾病、皮肤感染、消化系统疾病、哮喘、黄疸、心绞痛、慢性痢疾和腹泻。这项研究提供了药用植物的民族植物学清单，包括其被引用的频率以及 Chail 山谷部落社区中使用的部分、治疗的疾病和应用方法。目前的调查记录了该山谷有关当地药用植物治疗多种常见疾病的大量本土知识，这些知识已准备好进一步研究以进行生物学、药理学和毒理学筛查。这项研究还提供了一些与当地部落社区相关的社会经济方面的内容。
This paper represents the first ethnobotanical study in Chail valley of district Swat-Pakistan and provides significant information on medicinal plants use among the tribal people of the area. The aim of this study was to document the medicinal uses of local plants and to develop an ethnobotanical inventory of the species diversity. In present study, semi-structured interviews with 142 inhabitants (age range between 31–75 years) were conducted. Ethnobotanical data was analyzed using relative frequency of citation (RFC) to determine the well-known and most useful species in the area. Current research work reports total of 50 plant species belonging to 48 genera of 35 families from Chail valley. Origanum vulgare, Geranium wallichianum and Skimmia laureola have the highest values of relative frequency of citation (RFC) and are widely known by the inhabitants of the valley. The majority of the documented plants were herbs (58%) followed by shrubs (28%), trees (12%) and then climbers (2%). The part of the plant most frequently used was the leaves (33%) followed by roots (17%), fruits (14%), whole plant (12%), rhizomes (9%), stems (6%), barks (5%) and seeds (4%). Decoction was the most common preparation method use in herbal recipes. The most frequently treated diseases in the valley were urinary disorders, skin infections, digestive disorders, asthma, jaundice, angina, chronic dysentery and diarrhea. This study contributes an ethnobotanical inventory of medicinal plants with their frequency of citations together with the part used, disease treated and methods of application among the tribal communities of Chail valley. The present survey has documented from this valley considerable indigenous knowledge about the local medicinal plants for treating number of common diseases that is ready to be further investigated for biological, pharmacological and toxicological screening. This study also provides some socio-economic aspects which are associated to the local tribal communities.
