■在民族医学用途中利用动物和基于动物的副产品一直是人类的长期活动,在世界各地的各种文化中练习。这项研究的重点是调查巴基斯坦人民对动物传统医学的利用,特别是在古吉兰瓦拉地区。
■数据收集于2019年1月至9月通过采访当地社区进行。使用几个指标分析了动物产品的民族医学应用,包括相对引用频率(RFC),相对流行水平(RPL),民间使用价值(FL),和相对发生率(ROP)。
■该研究确定了54种动物的不同身体部位在治疗各种疾病和健康问题中的用途。这些包括但不限于皮肤感染,性问题,疼痛管理(例如,在骨干和关节中),视力问题,免疫增强,冷,弱点,烧伤,天花,伤口,中毒,肌肉疼痛,关节炎,糖尿病,发烧,癫痫,过敏,哮喘,疱疹,耳朵疼痛,瘫痪咳嗽,肿胀,癌症,支气管炎,女孩\'成熟,和胃相关的问题。告密者以很高的“引用频率”(FC)记录了某些动物群,从1到77。例如,黑眼镜蛇是视力问题最常被引用的动物(FC=77),其次是家兔烧伤治疗(FC=67),和印度河流域刺尾土蜥蜴的性问题(FC=66)。家畜和鸡的ROP值最高,为99。
■这项研究的结果为旁遮普邦古吉兰瓦拉地区的动物群保护提供了有价值的初步见解,巴基斯坦。此外,筛选这些动物的药物活性化合物可能会导致新的动物为基础的药物的发展,有助于传统医学保存和现代药物的进步。
UNASSIGNED: The utilization of fauna and fauna-based byproducts in ethnomedicinal usages has been a longstanding human activity, practiced across various cultures worldwide. This study focuses on investigating the utilization of animal-based traditional medicine by the people of Pakistan, specifically in the Gujranwala area.
UNASSIGNED: Data collection took place from January to September 2019 through interviews with local communities. Ethnomedicinal applications of animal products were analyzed using several indices, including Relative Frequency of Citation (RFC), Relative Popularity Level (RPL), Folk Use Value (FL), and Relative Occurrence Percentage (ROP).
UNASSIGNED: The study identified the use of different body parts of 54 species of animals in treating various diseases and health issues. These include but are not limited to skin infections, sexual problems, pain management (e.g., in the backbone and joints), eyesight issues, immunity enhancement, cold, weakness, burns, smallpox, wounds, poisoning, muscular pain, arthritis, diabetes, fever, epilepsy, allergies, asthma, herpes, ear pain, paralysis, cough, swelling, cancer, bronchitis, girls\' maturity, and stomach-related problems. Certain species of fauna were noted by informers with high \"frequency of citation\" (FC), ranging from 1 to 77. For instance, the black cobra was the most frequently cited animal for eyesight issues (FC = 77), followed by the domestic rabbit for burn treatment (FC = 67), and the Indus Valley spiny-tailed ground lizard for sexual problems (FC = 66). Passer domesticus and Gallus gallus were noted to have the highest ROP value of 99.
UNASSIGNED: The findings of this study provide valuable preliminary insights for the conservation of fauna in the Gujranwala region of Punjab, Pakistan. Additionally, screening these animals for medicinally active compounds could potentially lead to the development of novel animal-based medications, contributing to both traditional medicine preservation and modern pharmaceutical advancements.
