This investigation aims to provide a database of Dozo traditional knowledge of medicinal plants used for the treatment of common diseases.
The study was conducted through individual interviews using a survey form. Data were recorded in a database allowing statistical analysis. Each plant was recorded and documented with a herbarium specimen. Settings/Location & Subjects: The term Dozo refers to great hunters from Burkina Faso, highly renowned for their knowledge of medicinal plants. Niamberla village was founded by Dozo hunters and is currently the residence of many traditional healers. Unfortunately, their indigenous knowledge is not well recorded and may be lost between two generations.
A total of 16 traditional healers were interviewed, giving 89 recipes for the treatment of 37 diseases. The most common diseases are malaria (13%), psychological/spiritual issues (12%), gastric disorders (11%), sexually transmitted diseases (10%), and wounds (8%). A total of 56 medicinal plants have been identified, consisting mostly of trees (44%), shrubs (34%), and herbs (16%).
The results of this research provide a basis for pharmacological and toxicological investigations and are necessary to preserve the indigenous knowledge of traditional medicine among Dozo hunters.
本调查旨在提供一份关于多佐人用于治疗常见疾病的药用植物传统知识的数据库。
该研究通过使用调查问卷进行个人访谈来开展。数据记录在一个允许进行统计分析的数据库中。每种植物都用一份植物标本进行记录和存档。背景/地点及研究对象：“多佐”一词指来自布基纳法索的伟大猎手，他们以对药用植物的了解而闻名。尼亚姆贝拉村由多佐猎手建立，目前是许多传统治疗师的居住地。不幸的是，他们的本土知识没有得到很好的记录，可能会在两代人之间失传。
共采访了16名传统治疗师，得到了89种治疗37种疾病的药方。最常见的疾病是疟疾（13%）、心理/精神问题（12%）、胃部疾病（11%）、性传播疾病（10%）和伤口（8%）。共鉴定出56种药用植物，其中大部分是树木（44%）、灌木（34%）和草本植物（16%）。
本研究结果为药理学和毒理学研究提供了基础，对于保护多佐猎手的传统医学本土知识是必要的。
