Abstract：
Introduction: Plants have formed the basis of traditional medicine (TM) systems, which have been used for thousands of years. According to reports, one-quarter of the commonly used medicines contain compounds isolated from plants. This study aims to identify and document the plants for ethno-pharmacological use by the indigenous communities of West Shoa Zone, Oromia region, Ethiopia. Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2020 to November 2021 in West Shewa Zone, Oromia Region, Ethiopia. The ethnobotanical data was collected from Ejere District, Ada Berga District, Dandi District, Ambo District, Ambo Town, Toke Kutaye District, and Bako Tibe District. A descriptive statistical method (percentage and/or frequency) was employed to summarize ethnobotanical data. Moreover, the informant consensus factor was computed. Microsoft Excel spreadsheet software (Microsoft Corporation, 2016) and SPSS (version 25) were used to organize and analyze the data. Result: In the study area, a total of 51 families of medicinal plants with 108 Species were identified. Fabaceae 8 species, Asteraceae, Solanaceae and Lamiaceae each with 6 species and Cucurubitacieae 5 species were the frequently reported medicinal plants. The leaf (57.2%) was the most widely used medicinal plant parts, and oral administration (56.5%) was the most cited route of administration. In the present study, most of the medicinal plants were used fresh, which was (75%) and the most common disease the healers treated was gastrointestinal disease, followed by skin disease and febrile illness. The major threat to medicinal plants in the study area was agricultural expansion, which was reported by 30.6% of the respondents. The study area was rich in medicinal plants, Fabaceae which commonly used family. Conclusion: Most of the medication prepared by the traditional healers was taken orally and derived from the leaf part of the medicinal plant. Since this research is a preliminary study which will be used as a base for further study. The efficacy and safety of the medicinal plant claim should be studied in the future.
摘要：
简介：植物已经形成了传统医学（TM）系统的基础，已经使用了数千年。据报道,四分之一的常用药物含有从植物中分离出来的化合物。这项研究旨在确定和记录西苏阿地区土著社区用于民族药理学的植物，奥罗米亚地区,埃塞俄比亚。方法：横断面研究于2020年11月至2021年11月在西施瓦地区进行，奥罗米亚地区,埃塞俄比亚。民族植物学数据是从Ejere区收集的，AdaBerga区,丹迪区,安博区,安博镇,TokeKutaye区,和BakoTibe区.采用描述性统计方法（百分比和/或频率）来总结民族植物学数据。此外，计算了线人共识因子。微软Excel电子表格软件(微软公司，2016年)和SPSS(第25版)用于组织和分析数据。结果：在研究区域，共鉴定出51科药用植物108种。豆科8种，菊科,茄科和唇科各6种，南瓜科5种是经常报道的药用植物。叶(57.2%)是药用植物使用最广泛的部位,口服给药（56.5％）是引用最多的给药途径。在本研究中,大多数药用植物都是新鲜的，这是（75％），治疗者最常见的疾病是胃肠道疾病，其次是皮肤病和高热病。研究区域对药用植物的主要威胁是农业扩张，30.6%的受访者报告了这一情况。研究区富含药用植物，豆科是常用的科。结论：传统治疗师制备的药物大部分是口服的，来自药用植物的叶部分。由于本研究是初步研究，将作为进一步研究的基础。药用植物声称的有效性和安全性应在将来进行研究。
