In spite of the remarkable achievements in the health care sector over recent decades, inequities in accessibility and affordability of these facilities coexist throughout Pakistan, which has led us to explore and document the cultural knowledge of medicinal plants used in skin disorders by the local community members of Manoor Valley, Pakistan. Field investigations were undertaken during the summer seasons of 2015-2017, and cultural practices of medicinal plants usage for treating various ailments were gathered through interviews with the local inhabitants. Ethnomedicinal insights of the medicinal plants used for skin ailments were gained with recorded data assessed through different statistical packages for evaluation of principal components analysis, species disease curve, and two-way cluster analysis. We conclude that plants play an important role as ethnomedicine in daily life and especially in the health care of the people living in the study area.
尽管近几十年来医疗保健领域取得了显著成就，但在巴基斯坦各地，这些设施在可及性和可负担性方面存在不平等现象，这促使我们去探索和记录巴基斯坦马诺尔山谷当地社区成员用于治疗皮肤病的药用植物的文化知识。在2015年至2017年夏季进行了实地调查，并通过与当地居民访谈收集了用于治疗各种疾病的药用植物的文化习俗。通过使用不同的统计软件包对记录数据进行评估，以进行主成分分析、物种疾病曲线分析和双向聚类分析，从而获得了用于皮肤病的药用植物的民族医学见解。我们得出结论，植物作为民族医学在日常生活中，尤其是在研究区域居民的医疗保健中发挥着重要作用。
