Abstract

A study of the indigenous medical practices of the Kingdom of Tonga in the South Pacific was carried out from 1983 to 1989 by interviewing over 50 traditional healers. A list of 105 plant species used medicinally in the culture was prepared, which includes scientific and tongan names, voucher specimen numbers, ailments treated and the reported frequency of usage for each plant and remedy. The uses recorded are compared to those published by previous authors in Polynesia.

摘要

1983年至1989年期间，通过采访50多位传统治疗师，对南太平洋汤加王国的本土医学实践进行了一项研究。编制了一份在该文化中用于医学的105种植物物种清单，其中包括科学名称和汤加名称、凭证标本编号、治疗的疾病以及每种植物和药物的报告使用频率。将记录的用途与以前在波利尼西亚的作者发表的用途进行了比较。
