This review describes an Indigenous-led project run by Q’eqchi’ Maya Healers of Belize meant to strengthen and improve traditional botanical healing. The goals of this project were to conserve medicinal plant knowledge by way of ethnobotanical studies, and to conserve the plants themselves by creating a community ethnobotanical garden. A total of 169 medicinal species were collected in the ethnobotanical survey, which provided unique knowledge on many rainforest species of the wet lowland forest of southern Belize, not found in neighbouring Indigenous cultures. Consensus on plant uses by the Healers was high, indicating a well-conserved, codified oral history. After horticultural experimentation by the Healers, the Indigenous botanical garden provided a habitat for and conservation of 102 medicinal species including many epiphytes that were rescued from forested areas. Ethnopharmacological studies by the university partners showed a pharmacological basis for, and active principles of, plants used for epilepsy and anxiety, for inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, for dermatological mycoses, and for type 2 diabetes complications. Overall, the project has provided a model for Indigenous empowerment and First Nation’s science, as well as establishing traditional medicine as an important, unified healing practice that can safely and effectively provide primary health care in its cultural context.

这篇评论描述了一个由伯利兹的 Q'eqchi' Maya Healers 运营的土著主导项目，旨在加强和改善传统的植物疗法。该项目的目标是通过民族植物学研究来保护药用植物知识，并通过创建社区民族植物园来保护植物本身。民族植物学调查共收集了 169 种药用物种，为伯利兹南部潮湿低地森林的许多热带雨林物种提供了独特的知识，这些知识在邻近的土著文化中没有。治疗师对植物使用的共识很高，表明口述历史保存完好，编纂成文。经过治疗师的园艺实验，土著植物园为 102 种药用物种提供了栖息地和保护，其中包括许多从森林地区救出的附生植物。大学合作伙伴的民族药理学研究显示了用于治疗癫痫和焦虑症、关节炎等炎症、皮肤真菌病和 2 型糖尿病并发症的植物的药理学基础和活性成分。总体而言，该项目为土著赋权和原住民科学提供了一个模型，并将传统医学确立为一种重要的、统一的治疗实践，可以在其文化背景下安全有效地提供初级卫生保健。用于治疗癫痫和焦虑症、关节炎等炎症、皮肤真菌病和 2 型糖尿病并发症的植物。总体而言，该项目为土著赋权和原住民科学提供了一个模型，并将传统医学确立为一种重要的、统一的治疗实践，可以在其文化背景下安全有效地提供初级卫生保健。用于治疗癫痫和焦虑症、关节炎等炎症、皮肤真菌病和 2 型糖尿病并发症的植物。总体而言，该项目为土著赋权和原住民科学提供了一个模型，并将传统医学确立为一种重要的、统一的治疗实践，可以在其文化背景下安全有效地提供初级卫生保健。
