Shawi ethnic group located in the Peruvian Amazon know and apply medicinal plants to their health. The study was carried out in communities of Buenos Aires, Nuevo Cachiyacu and Santa Cruz in the Balsapuerto district, Alto Amazonas province, Loreto region; in workshops, visits to their farms and local forests. 27% were women and 73% male, ages in the range of 19 to 70 years old. The objective was to document the knowledge of uses of medicinal plants, with open interviews. Analyzed data included species common names, type of most common diseases, how they cure them and methods of plant preparation. Information of 24 species which they consider the most used was collected. Those corresponded to 17 botanical families and they use them for treatment of 22 diseases. The largest number in treatments were diarrhea, stomach colic and external wounds with five species, and the rest of diseases with three, two to one species. The leaves are the most used in infusions.

Manejo de plantas medicinales en el nororiente amazónico peruano Management of medicinal plants in the northeastern Peruvian Amazon María del Pilar Rodríguez Quezada Universidad Nacional Toribio Rodríguez de Mendoza-Amazonas Facultad de Enfermería, Ciudad Universitaria, Higos Urco s/n DOI: https://doi.org/10.33017/RevECIPeru2011.0037/ RESUMEN Estudio descriptivo, exploratorio, de diseño transversal, cuyo objetivo fue estudiar el manejo de las plantas medicinales en 47 agentes comunitarios de medicina tradicional del nororiente amazónico peruano. Ellos fueron entrevistados para identificar las plantas medicinales que crecen silvestres o cultivadas en las 21 comunidades visitadas y las plantas que ellos usan para tratar enfermedades, describiendo la forma de recolección y almacenaje de las plantas, así como el uso, preparación y parte usada (cantidad) de la planta medicinal. Se identificaron 238 plantas medicinales usadas por los agentes comunitarios tradicionales, de los cuales 155 son usadas individualmente para tratar o prevenir enfermedades, las demás en forma complementaria con otras plantas; 193 son usadas cotidianamente por los pobladores de las regiones de Amazonas, Loreto y San Martín; 100 especies fueron cultivadas e identificadas taxonómicamente en el jardín botánico de plantas medicinales de la Universidad Nacional Toribio Rodríguez de Mendoza de Amazonas. Las plantas medicinales son usadas en infusiones 71.6%, cocimientos 38.7%, zumos 8.4%, frotaciones 6.5%, emplastos y los baños 5.8%, cataplasmas 5.2%. Tienen un gran potencial agroindustrial: medicinal, culinario, plaguicida, etnoveterinaria, cosmético entre otros. Descriptores: manejo, recolección, almacenamiento, uso de plantas medicinales amazónicas. ABSTRACT Descriptive, exploratory study, of cross-sectional design, whose objective was to study the management of medicinal plants at 47 community agents of traditional medicine of the northeastern Peruvian Amazon. They were interviewed to identify medicinal plants that grow wild or cultivated in the 21 communities visited and the plants that they use to treat diseases, describing the form of collection and storage of plants, and the use, preparation and part used (amount) of the plants. It identified 238 medicinal plants used by traditional community agents, of which 155 are used individually to treat or prevent disease, the other in a complementary way with other plants; 193 are also used daily by people from the regions of Amazonas, Loreto and San Martin; 100 species were cultured and identified taxonomically in the botanical garden of medicinal plants of the National University Toribio Rodriguez de Mendoza of Amazonas. Medicinal plants are used in infusions 71,6%, decoctions 38,7%, juices 8.4%, rubs 6,5%, poultices and baths 5.8%, poultices 5.2%. They have a great potential for agribusiness: medicinal, culinary, pesticidal, ethno-veterinary, cosmetic, among others. Keywords: management, collection, storage, use of medicinal plants in the Amazon.

Plant Use

Medicinal plants, as a type of non-timber forests (NTFP), have been expected to support the livelihoods of people globally, especially in rural and forest areas in developing nations. As medicinal plants occupy a unique position, with direct repercussions for people’s health and as a potential income resource, it is necessary to take the interaction with, and influence of, modern medicine into account when they are considered as a NTFP. This study pursued the influence of the health care service on medicinal plant utilization in mestizo and indigenous villages near secondary population agglomerations in the Peruvian Amazon. The study found some influence of the health care services on medicinal plant use in the study site, indicating that 1) medicinal plants are not necessarily a highly dependable approach for health care, 2) there are insufficient conditions for the development of a commercial market for medicinal plants, and 3) mestizo and indigenous households have similar health care utilization behaviours, although indigenous households are more affected by modern medicine, especially health care insurance, than the mestizo households. The health care service is an important factor for medicinal plant use for both health and livelihood. Without considering this factor, the potential of medicinal plants as NTFP cannot be fully understood.
