Folk medicinal plant mixtures: Establishing a protocol for further studies


Web link: linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/...

Pages: 244 - 273

Abstract

Ethnopharmacological relevance: Most ethnobotanical research bases its analyses on individual taxa catalogues and their uses, rather than on mixtures. However, mixtures constitute an important chapter of our different lines of research and they represent a large volume of information. The relevance of these data in folk medicine could be explained as a response to the cure of multicausal etiology diseases or by a possible polyvalent effect of the mixture as opposed to the effect of each taxon alone.
