  • The Use of Medicinal Plants to Prevent COVID-19 in Nepal
    Khadka et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2021) 17:26 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13002-021-00449-w RESEARCH Open Access The use of medicinal plants to prevent COVID-19 in Nepal Dipak Khadka1,2,3, Man Kumar Dhamala4ˆ, Feifei Li5, Prakash Chandra Aryal2,3, Pappu Rana Magar6, Sijar Bhatta2, Manju Shree Thakur2, Anup Basnet2, Dafang Cui1* and Shi Shi1,7* Abstract Background: Medicinal plants are the fundamental unit of traditional medicine system in Nepal. Nepalese people are rich in traditional medicine especially in folk medicine (ethnomedicine), and this system is gaining much attention after 1995. The use of medicinal plants has increased during the COVID-19 pandemic as a private behavior (not under the control of government). A lot of misinterpretations of the use of medicinal plants to treat or prevent COVID-19 have been spreading throughout Nepal which need to be managed proactively. In this context, a research was needed to document medicinal plants used, their priority of use in society, their cultivation status, and the source of information people follow to use them. This study aimed to document the present status of medicinal plant use and make important suggestion to the concerned authorities. Methods: This study used a web-based survey to collect primary data related to medicinal plants used during COVID-19. A total of 774 respondents took part in the survey. The study calculated the relative frequencies of citation (RFC) for the recorded medicinal plants. The relationship between plants recorded and different covariates (age, gender education, occupation, living place, and treatment methods) was assessed using Kruskal-Wallis test and Wilcoxon test.

  • Ethnomedicinal Plants Used Against Skin Diseases in Some Villages of Kali Gandaki, Bagmati and Tadi Likhu Watersheds of Nepal
    Fuelwood : Chaubas, Kakani and Syabru 1 Ethnobotanical Leaflets 11: 235-246. 2007. Ethnomedicinal Plants Used Against Skin Diseases in Some Villages of Kali Gandaki, Bagmati and Tadi Likhu Watersheds of Nepal Ananda Raj Joshi1 and Kunjani Joshi2 1President, Environmentalist Association of Nepal and 2Harvard University Herbaria, USA Email: [email protected]; [email protected] Web: http://www.anandakunjani.com.np Issued 15 November 2007 Abstract The paper enumerates the traditional uses of 73 plant species belonging to 62 genera representing 47 families, which are used by the village communities of Kali Gandaki, Bagmati, and Tadi Likhu watersheds of Nepal for the treatment skin diseases. Some of useful species are under serious threat due to unsustainable activities. Hence, a proper documentation of useful plants with their present status and local traditional knowledge as well as practices is urgently needed. Effort should also be initiated to implement appropriate conservation measures for preservation and sustainable uses of these useful species. Introduction The rural communities of Nepal are still dependent upon wild plants for their primary healthcare and treatment of diseases. They collect the useful plants from various habitats such as forests, scrub, grassland, cultivated fields and use these plant materials as raw drugs. These communities have acquired good knowledge on the useful and harmful properties of the useful plant resources in course of their constant association with forest and agro-ecosystems. However, at present, this vast store of information is being eroded as a result of human’s unsustainable activities. The loss of traditional knowledge within http://www.siu.edu/~ebl/leaflets/skin.htm 11/13/08 10:55:15 Fuelwood : Chaubas, Kakani and Syabru 2 cultures undergoing rapid change is just as irreversible as the loss of species (Joshi and Joshi, 2005).

ETHNOBOTANICAL NOTES ON THANGMI PLANT NAMES AND THEIR MEDICINAL AND RITUAL USES Mark Turin Introduction Over the past six years, in the course of documenting the grammar of the Thangmi language, I have found the lexicon to be replete with indigenous names for local flora and fauna. Many of these indigenous terms are falling into disuse, or being replaced by Nepali words as fluency in the national language increases. Older Thangmi speakers have encouraged me to document the local botanical terminology, and the medicinal and ritual uses of the plants as a record for younger generations of Thangmi speakers as well as for the international scholarly community. With this goal in mind, the present article offers a list of Thangmi lexical items for flora.

  • Jimbu) by David Borish
    Nepalese Allium (Jimbu) By David Borish Background Jimbu is one product that is native to the North-Central mountainous regions of Nepal, and is of high value to Upper Mustang Nepalese (Nepal, 2006). Jimbu refers to two species of Allium, A. hypsistum and A. przewalskianum (Nepal, 2006). Both species are perennial and bulbous flowering plants part of the Amaryllidaceous family (IUCN Nepal, 2000). After harvest, people store Jimbu dried for later use since it is a seasonal herb (main harvest between June and September)(Nepal, 2006). Uses of Jimbu The above ground parts of these plants are used for spices and traditional medicines (Nepal, 2006). The use of the spice is primarily for flavoring and seasoning, although it is considered nutritious by people in the Upper Mustang region (Nepal, 2006). Almost all (90%) households in the Upper Mustang region use Jimbu as a spice in curries, soups, pickles, and meat items (Nepal, 2006). Populations throughout the rest of Nepal and parts of Northern India consume the spice as well (Chhatre, Ojha, & Persha, 2009). Jimbu is also considered to be a high value medicinal plant collected from Nepalese hillside pastures (IUCN Nepal, 2000). In Upper Mustang and other North-Central parts of Nepal, households use Jimbu to cure various medical illnesses such as flues, coughs, and stomach pains (IUCN Nepal, 2000). This could be related to the isolated nature of these villages, living in regions that do not have basic health facilities. Economic Benefits of Jimbu After collection, the Jimbu plant is dried in a closed area, such as a shed, for several days before it is completely air-dried (Nepal, 2006).
