Abstract
La tesis se llevó a cabo de enero a julio de 2011 en las comunidades de El Chino y Buena Vista, ubicadas en la Zona de Amortiguamiento del Área de Conservación Regional Comunal Tamshiyacu-Tahuayo (ACRCTT) en Perú. El objetivo fue realizar un estudio etnobotánico de plantas medicinales mediante entrevistas y encuestas a los pobladores. Se encuestaron 111 personas y se identificaron 112 especies de plantas medicinales de 49 familias y 100 géneros. Las plantas se utilizan principalmente para tratar fiebre, gripe, diarrea, heridas, cortes y quemaduras. Los remedios caseros se preparan mayormente en fresco, seguidos por decocción, maceración, cataplasma, pulverización e infusión. Las hojas son la parte más utilizada de las plantas, y la huerta es el lugar de extracción más común. Como resultado, se elaboró un manual de uso tradicional de plantas medicinales con nombres científicos y vulgares, usos y modos de preparación, complementado con fotografías.
Abstract The thesis was conducted from January to July 2011 in the communities of El Chino and Buena Vista, located within the Buffer Zone of the Tamshiyacu-Tahuayo Regional Community Conservation Area (ACRCTT) in Peru. The objective was to carry out an ethnobotanical study of medicinal plants through interviews and surveys with the inhabitants. A total of 111 people were surveyed, and 112 species of medicinal plants from 49 families and 100 genera were identified. The plants are mainly used to treat fever, flu, diarrhoea, wounds, cuts, and burns. Home remedies are mostly prepared fresh, followed by decoction, maceration, poultice, pulverisation, and infusion. Leaves are the most commonly used part of the plants, and the garden is the most frequent extraction site. As a result, a manual on the traditional use of medicinal plants was created, including scientific and common names, uses, and preparation methods, complemented with photographs.
