Flores Email: [email protected] Abstract: The study was able to identify thirty-two (32) species of plants being sold in Quaipo, Manila, Philippines as herbal medicines. These plants were sourced from different locations in the Philippines such as Cavite, Batangas, Rizal, Nueva Ecija, Bicol, Pampanga, Cebu, Antipolo, Quezon and Bulacan. The availability of medicinal plants in Quiapo and the way some Filipinos are patrnonizing it are, to a certain extent, reflects the larger cultural dimension of the nation. The series of oral and written interviews that were conducted reveal, in a glimpse, the strong spiritual, economical and familial background of a typical Filipino.

Transborder Ethnic Kin (TEK) Groups Atlas. Online: https: //icr.ethz.ch/data/epr/tek/. Accessed: [Date]. ∗Corresponding author. Email: [email protected]. Description The Transborder Ethnic Kin (TEK) groups Atlas provides a brief description of all ethnic kin groups that live spread across two or more states. Each group comment indicates the name of the group, lists the countries where the group is, or was, politically relevant at some point in time since 1946, and describes the group's common identifier. Transborder ethnic kin groups are ethnic groups that have transnational connections across at least two states, because their settlement area is split by an international border. The TEK dataset identifies trans-border ethnic groups based on a matching of all ethnic groups included in the EPR dataset (Cederman, Wimmer, and Min 2010; Vogt et al. 2015). The EPR-TEK Dataset constitutes a research-ready version of all TEK groups covering 1946 until 2021 in table format (Vogt et al. 2015). It can be downloaded at: https://icr.ethz.ch/data/epr/tek/.

This comprehensive review summarizes the ethnobotanical uses and chemistry of 12 South African species, belonging to six genera: Ekebergia, Nymania, Entandrophragma, Pseudobersama, Trichilia, and Turraea. Eight of the species have ethnomedicinal records, clas- sified into 17 major disease categories. The ethnomedicinal uses comprise 85 ailments dominated by gastrointestinal complaints, followed by gynaecological and obstetrics related problems. Chemical records were found for 10 species, which describe nine classes of compounds. In nearly all South African Meliaceae, limonoids are the predominant constituents while triterpenes, sterols, and coumarins are also common. The widest range of use-records and medicinal applications are found with the two most chemically diverse species, Ekebergia capensis and Trichilia emetica. Of the chemical compounds identified in the various plant organs of the 10 species of South African Meliaceae for which data are available, 42% was found in bark and 17% in seeds.

The Nature of Puerto Rican Folk Health Practices Through Healers Perceptions and Somatic Assumptions
THE NATURE OF PUERTO RICAN FOLK HEALTH PRACTICES THROUGH HEALERS PERCEPTIONS AND SOMATIC ASSUMPTIONS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor in Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Fanny Santiago-Saavedra, M.S. THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY 2004 Dissertation Committee: Professor Seymour Kleinman Approved by Professor Cynthia Dillard ________________________ Adviser Professor Fiona Travis College of Education Copy right by Fanny Santiago-Saavedra 2004 ABSTRACT This study presents Puerto Rican Folk Healing Practices (PRFHP) as a cultural experience in an attempt to understand attitudes towards health from the healers’ perspective and illuminate factors that resonate with the field of somatics studies, which regards individuals as whole (body-mind-spirit connection). Case studies were used to present the nature of six Puerto Rican folk healers and the practices they perform in the island of Puerto Rico. Qualitative research methods were used to gather the information. Semi-structured interviews, video observations, active participation, journals, and field notes were the tools used to capture the experiential approach of this research. Culturally grounded analysis was done in order to find common themes among six Puerto Rican folk healers and their practices. From the culturally grounded analysis, five major themes emerged. They are service, reverence to nature and natural cycles, the concept of medical mestizaje, physical and spiritual world as a continuum and the sense of embodiment. The second analysis explored how assumptions of the somatic framework relates to Puerto Rican Folk Healing Practices. The assumptions explored are a) perception of the world through the body. -

Herbal Medicine Use and Linked Suspected Adverse Drug Reactions
Kiguba et al. BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine (2016) 16:145 DOI 10.1186/s12906-016-1125-x RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Herbal medicine use and linked suspected adverse drug reactions in a prospective cohort of Ugandan inpatients Ronald Kiguba1*, Sam Ononge2,3, Charles Karamagi3 and Sheila M. Bird4 Abstract Background: Clinical history-taking can be employed as a standardized approach to elucidate the use of herbal medicines and their linked suspected adverse drug reactions (ADRs) among hospitalized patients. We sought to identify herbal medicines nominated by Ugandan inpatients; compare nomination rates by ward and gender; confirm the herbs’ known pharmacological properties from published literature; and identify ADRs linked to pre-admission use of herbal medicines. Methods: Prospective cohort of consented adult inpatients designed to assess medication use and ADRs on one gynaecological and three medical wards of 1790-bed Mulago National Referral Hospital. Baseline and follow-up data were obtained on patients’ characteristics, including pre-admission use of herbal medicines. Results: Fourteen percent (26/191) of females in Gynaecology nominated at least one specific herbal medicine compared with 20 % (114/571) of inpatients on medical wards [20 % (69/343) of females; 20 % (45/228) of males]. Frequent nominations were Persea americana (30), Mumbwa/multiple-herb clay rods (23), Aloe barbadensis (22), Beta vulgaris (12), Vernonia amygdalina (11), Commelina africana (7), Bidens pilosa (7), Hoslundia opposita (6), Mangifera indica (4), and Dicliptera laxata (4). Four inpatients experienced 10 suspected ADRs linked to pre-admission herbal medicine use including Commelina africana (4), multiple-herb-mumbwa (1), or unspecified local-herbs (5): three ADR-cases were abortion-related and one kidney-related. -

ISSN 1020-3435 ISSN Annon-woodnon-wood information bulletin on Non-Wood Forest Products NOVEMBER 2011 23 EDITORIAL Anniversaries are times of reflection, and reflections provide a good opportunity to look back in order to move forward with continued commitment. This edition of Non-Wood News is the twentieth issue I have been involved in: my involvement started with issue 3 in March 1996. Changes have obviously taken place during this time, but important issues still remain. For example, issue 3 included an article on “Bioprospecting or biopiracy?”, covering plant-based pharmaceutical potential, a topic that is still relevant today and a regular feature in our News and Notes section for many years. Much progress has been made in this area since 1996, as can be CONTENTS seen from the recent historic Nagoya Protocol on Access and Benefit Sharing. In acknowledgement of this, in the present issue we have a Special Feature on 3 Special Features “Recognition of traditional knowledge”, which includes articles on bioprospecting % Recognition of traditional knowledge and benefit sharing, as well as information on how countries are developing policies • UN urges greater appreciation of to protect traditional knowledge from biopiracy. culture and creativity of indigenous peoples Over the years, we have strengthened our reporting on • New project in Eastern Europe to the role of people, their communities and their use of protect traditional knowledge in NWFPs.
