Abstract

Background: ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY has been seen as a multidisciplinatary approach for novel drug discovery by providing valuable data about MEDICINAL PLANTS in different cultures. The aim of this ethnopharmacological study was to identify MEDICINAL PLANTS of the Genaveh port in the North of Persian Gulf.Material and Methods: The medical uses of MEDICINAL PLANTS were gathered from 30 local informants by face to face interview. The relative frequency of citation (FRC) and cultural importance (CI) indices were calculated.Results: A total of 93 MEDICINAL PLANTS belonging to 55 families were identified. Plantago psyllium, Teucrium polium, Peganum harmala, Descuraninia sophia, Cichorium intybus, Achillea erophora DC, Matricarria charmomilla and Citrolus colocynthis had the highest cultural importance indices. Plantago psyllium, Descuraninia sophia and Zataria multiflora had the highest FRC indices. The highest medical uses were for gastrointestinal diseases, gynocological diseases, respiratory disorders, infectious diseases, nature of cool and metabolic disorders, respectively. In addition to the use of these plants to treat diseases as in Iran’s TRADITIONAL MEDICINE, people in the Genaveh port particularly use Plantago psyllium for drainage of infective boils and abscesses, cough, skin diseases, Teucrium polium for diabetes mellitus, wound washing and sterilizing, Peganum harmala for uterus infections and abdominal cramps, Descuraninia sophia for heart diseases and heatstroke, Cichorium intybus for heatstroke and liver diseases, Achillea eriophora DC for reflex, diabetes mellitus and wound healing, Matricarria charmomilla for seizure and dysmenorrhea, Citrolus colocynthis for hemorrhoid, diabetes mellitus and rheumatism and Zataria multiflora for sedation, abdominal pain and respiratory diseases.Conclusion: There is a vast variety of MEDICINAL PLANTS in Genaveh port. Although most of therapeutic applications of these plants in the Genaveh port are the same as Iran’s TRADITIONAL MEDICINE, but the people of this region use some of these plants for some diseases which are unique for this area. Thus, investigation about these plants should be initiated to discover novel drugs for clinical applications.
