Abstract

Context

Since ancient times, traditional Arabic medicine (TAM) has been used to treat various diseases in Syria. They are cost-effective with fewer side effects and are more suitable for long-term use compared with chemically synthesized medicines. In addition, the scientific importance is manifested, as this survey proceeds, for the purposes of verifying and documenting these traditional medicines and their common uses.

Objective

We conducted ethnobotanical and ethnomedicine research on plants traditionally used to treat various diseases in central region of Syria.

Methods

Information was collected from 2019 to 2021 from the cities of Homs and Hama and their villages, which are two governorates located in central Syria, after interviews with traditional practitioners called Attarin, and many other people. Plant specimens were collected according to different references concerning medicinal plants of Syria, to document the traditional uses of plants at least two of the traditional healers and three other people were asked.

Results

In this survey, we listed 76 medicinal plants belonging to 39 families in alphabetical order with the parts used and the method of preparation according to their therapeutic use, which are used to treat 106 ailments.

Conclusions

Many of the uses of medicinal plants mentioned in this survey are still under study. There is no doubt that this study will provide new data that could contribute to further pharmacological discoveries by identifying the active ingredients and their mechanism of effect by doing additional pharmacological work to confirm the alleged biological activities of these plants.

传统药物及其在叙利亚中部地区的常见用途:哈马和霍姆斯——民族医学调查

摘要

语境

自古以来,传统的阿拉伯医学(TAM)就被用于治疗叙利亚的各种疾病。与化学合成药物相比,它们具有成本效益,副作用更少,更适合长期使用。此外,随着本次调查的进行,为了验证和记录这些传统药物及其常见用途,科学的重要性也得到了体现。

客观的

我们对叙利亚中部地区传统上用于治疗各种疾病的植物进行了民族植物学和民族医学研究。

方法

在采访了名为Attarin的传统从业者和许多其他人之后,从 2019 年到 2021 年,从位于叙利亚中部的两个省霍姆斯市和哈马市及其村庄收集了信息。根据有关叙利亚药用植物的不同参考资料收集植物标本,以记录植物的传统用途,至少询问了两名传统治疗师和另外三名其他人。

结果

在本次调查中,我们按字母顺序列出了隶属于39科的76种药用植物,并根据其治疗用途列出了使用部位和制备方法,用于治疗106种疾病。

结论

本次调查中提到的许多药用植物的用途仍在研究中。毫无疑问,这项研究将提供新的数据,通过进行额外的药理学工作来确认这些植物所谓的生物活性,从而确定活性成分及其作用机制,从而有助于进一步的药理学发现。
