关于欧洲传统疗法的使用方法和观念的跨文化研究对于理解我们多文化现代社会中的药物手段如何被不同种族群体以不同方式接受具有战略重要性。在这次调查中，我们分析了传统上使用的生物手段在民族医学的三个Arbereshe（阿尔巴尼亚族）社区在秃鹫地区（北方卢卡尼亚，南部意大利）。大多数的补救措施是由属于54植物类群的植物代表。一些记录的物种具有传统的治疗用途，以前从未在意大利南部报道过。过去专门使用的其他方法包括矿物、动物和工业衍生材料。在特定的情况下，这些材料甚至植物中的一些既不用于外部也不用于内部，而是用作精神治疗仪式中的象征性仪式物品。民族药理学和人类学的考虑，这些用途进行了讨论。(C)2002 Elsevier Science B.V.保留所有权利。
Intercultural studies about the methods of use and perceptions of traditional remedies in Europe are strategically important in understanding how pharmaceutical means in our multicultural modern societies are differently accepted by diverse ethnic groups. In this survey, we analysed the biological means traditionally used in the ethnomedicine of three Arbereshe (ethnic Albanians) communities in the Vulture area (northern Lucania, southern Italy). The majority of remedies are represented by plants belonging to 54 botanical taxa. A few of the recorded species have a traditional therapeutic use that has never previously been reported in southern Italy. Other means-c specially used in the past-are comprised of mineral, animal and industrial derived materials. In specific cases, some of these materials and even plants are neither applied externally or internally, but are instead utilised as symbolic ritual objects in spiritual healing ceremonies. Ethnopharmacological and anthropological considerations about these usages are discussed. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
