A medico-ethnobotanical survey was conducted among the Senegalese migrant communities of Turin (Piedmont, NW Italy) and their peers living in Adeane (Casamance, Southern Senegal), both among healers and laypeople. Through 27 in-depth interviews, 71 medicinal plant taxa were recorded and identified in Adeane and 41 in Turin, for a total of 315 different folk remedies recorded in Senegal and 62 in Turin. The large majority of the medicinal plants recorded among Senegalese migrants in Turin were also used in their country of origin. These findings demonstrate the resilience of home remedies among migrants and consequently the role they should have in shaping public health policies devoted to migrant groups in Western Countries, which seek to seriously take into account culturally sensitive approaches, that is, emic health-seeking strategies.
进行了一项医学民族植物学调查,对象是都灵(意大利西北部皮埃蒙特地区)的塞内加尔移民社区及其在阿德阿恩(塞内加尔南部卡萨芒斯地区)的同行,包括治疗师和非专业人士。通过 27 次深入访谈,在阿德阿恩记录并鉴定了 71 种药用植物类群,在都灵记录了 41 种,总计在塞内加尔记录了 315 种不同的民间疗法,在都灵记录了 62 种。在都灵的塞内加尔移民中记录的大多数药用植物也在他们的原籍国使用。这些发现表明,移民中的家庭疗法具有很强的适应性,因此,在制定针对西方国家移民群体的公共卫生政策时,应该考虑到这些疗法,这些政策旨在认真考虑文化敏感的方法,即本土化的健康寻求策略。
