| useful plants in the philippines: Popular Medicinal Plants in Portland and Kingston, Jamaica Ina Vandebroek, David Picking, 2020-12-05 This book highlights the results from over a year of ethnobotanical research in a rural and an urban community in Jamaica, where we interviewed more than 100 people who use medicinal plants for healthcare. The goal of this research was to better understand patterns of medicinal plant knowledge, and to find out which plants are used in consensus by local people for a variety of illnesses. For this book, we selected 25 popular medicinal plant species mentioned during fieldwork. Through individual interviews, we were able to rank plants according to their frequency of mention, and categorized the medicinal uses for each species as “major” (mentioned by more than 20% of people in a community) or “minor” (mentioned by more than 5%, but less than 20% of people). Botanical identification of plant specimens collected in the wild allowed for cross-linking of common and scientific plant names. To supplement field research, we undertook a comprehensive search and review of the ethnobotanical and biomedical literature. Our book summarizes all this information in detail under specific sub-headings. |
| useful plants in the philippines: Philippine Herbs Domingo A. Madulid, Michaela Fenix, Josefa C. Reyes, Dr Jaime Tan, 2019-04-15 * This publication presents the most relevant and useful information about the herbs and plants grown in the most common surroundings in the city, and in the province of the PhilippinesThe Philippines is considered one of the megadiversity centers of the world. It is also a country blessed with a rich natural plant life. Constituting a significant part of bountiful biological resources are the country's endemic, indigenous, and exotic species of plants. A number of these plants grow spontaneously in various habitats and thrive on their own. A huge number of natural and introduced flora in the Philippines are normally used for regular home cooking or used for medicinal purposes. Plants play an important role in the lives of Filipinos as they provide the basic human needs of food, shelter, clothing, and medicine. Many other herbs are known for traditional medicine; these are discussed in the third chapter, which cites the various medicinal formulations for certain illnesses such as common cough and colds, heart disease, and diabetes to name a few. The fourth chapter looks at herbs for concoctions that promote wellness through teas, juices, rubs, and special washes. The fifth and last chapter discusses growing herbs in all types of spaces. It is the intention of this book to present the most relevant and useful information about the herbs and plants grown in the most common surroundings in the city, and in the province. Contents: Introduction; Philippine herbal plants and their uses; Cooking with Herbs; Medicinal benefits of Herbs; Concoctions; Herb gardens and markets; Biographical notes; Index; Acknowledgments. |

| useful plants in the philippines: Ethnobotany of the Mountain Regions of Southeast Asia F. Merlin Franco, 2021-06-16 This volume is a compendium of selected plant species of ethnobotanical value to the highland communities of popular Southeast Asia. “Traditional” knowledge held by local communities on their resources is always in flux and adapting to a quickly changing environment. New plants find their entry into the local pharmacopoeias, while existing ones maybe removed. Likewise, various local communities might find the same plant useful for completely different purposes. While compiling information on the species, authors have taken great care to ensure that the dynamic nature of ethnobotanical knowledge is represented adequately. Special emphasis has also been given to cultural value of species to the local communities in the region. The field (and thus the market) of ethnobotany and ethnopharmacology has grown considerably in recent years. Student interest is on the rise, attendance at professional conferences has grown steadily, and the number of professionals calling themselves ethnobotanists has increased significantly (the various societies (Society for Economic Botany, International Society of Ethnopharmacology, Society of Ethnobiology, International Society for Ethnobiology, and many regional and national societies in the field currently have thousands of members). The objective of this new Major Reference Work on Ethnobotany of Mountain Regions of Southeast Asia is to take advantage of the increasing international interest and scholarship on highland landscapes and communities. While ethnobotanical studies are now available from many regions of the world, no comprehensive encyclopedic volume on the highlands of popular SE Asia is available in the market. We include the best and latest research on a full range of descriptive, methodological, theoretical, and applied research on the most important plants for the region. Scholars in plant sciences worldwide will also be interested in the dedicated website for this volume and its dynamic content. |

| useful plants in the philippines: Medicinal Plants Timothy R. Tomlinson, Olayiwola Akerele, 2015-06-30 From the beginning of human civilization, people have depended on plants to cure disease, promote healing of injuries, and alleviate pain. In many places that has changed very little. In the West, however, herbal and botanical cures have long been ignored in favor of scientific medicine. But the benefits of medicinal plants are being rediscovered in many developed countries, where consumers are turning to such therapies in place of, and in addition to, Western medical treatments. And, all over the world, the drive to lower the cost of health care has made herbals and botanicals an attractive alternative to more expensive synthetic remedies. In 1978, the World Health Organization responded to increased interest in medicinal plants by convening a series of international consultations, seminars, and symposia to explore and promote the use of medicinal plants. Medicinal Plants presents the proceedings of the last of these symposia, held in 1993. It brings together an vast range of information and presents an overview of the use of medicinal plants that includes a discussion of a variety of issues—scientific, economic, regulatory, agricultural, cultural—focused on the importance of medicinal plants to primary health care and global health care reform. |

| useful plants in the philippines: General Guidelines for Methodologies on Research and Evaluation of Traditional Medicine World Health Organization, 2000 In 1997, with the support of the National Center of Complementary and Alternative Medicine, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA, a WHO informal discussion developed draft guidelines for methodology on research and evaluation of traditional medicine. Since then, the draft has been revised four times. The guidelines were finalized at a WHO consultation in April 2000, in Hong Kong, China, with the support of the Government of Hong Kong SAR. The guidelines focus on the current major debates on safety and efficacy of traditional medicine, and are intended to raise and answer some challenging questions concerning the evidence base. They also clarify certain commonly used but unclear definitions. The guidelines present some national regulations for the evaluation of herbal medicine, and also recommend new approaches for carrying out clinical research, for example, using the WHO QOL user manual. The quality of life (QOL) manual was developed by the WHO Programme on Mental Health, and may also be used to evaluate the results of clinical research in traditional medicine. |
