BACKGROUND
Infertility is considered one of the global public health problems and during human history, it is also considered one of the unsolved problems of the continuous human race. This study aimed to collect and document the ethnopharmacological data on herbal remedies, which traditionally used by Palestinian healers in the rural areas of the West Bank area for the treatment of infertility in males and females.
METHODS
Using a semi-structured questionnaire, an ethnopharmacological survey of medicinal plants used for the treatment of infertility in the West Bank area of Palestine was investigated. This survey involved 51 traditional healers which were interviewed in rural areas from 9 Palestinian regions.
RESULTS
Information about 31 plants used in the treatment of infertility in females and 24 plants used in the treatment of infertility in males were collected. This information including names of plants, parts used, mode and methods of preparation which were obtained from 51 traditional healers interviewed in rural areas of 9 regions of the West Bank/Palestine. This investigation is the first scientific work in the Middle East area which collected information about herbal remedies used by local Palestinian traditional healers for the treatments of infertility in males and females. The highest Frequency of Citation (FC) of herbal remedies used in case of infertility in females, were 98.04% for pollen grains from Ceratonia siliqua, 88.24% for Anastatica hierochuntica fruits and 84.31% for Parietaria judaica leaves, while the highest Frequency of Citation (FC) of herbal remedies used in case of infertility in males were 96.08% for Ferula hermonis roots, 88.24% for Phlomis brachyodon leaves and 86.27% for Phoenix dactylifera pollen grains.
CONCLUSION
Herbal healers in the West Bank area of Palestine have a wide range of herbal remedies used in case of infertility in males and in females. Unfortunately, most of them lack scientific evidence of pharmacological or toxicological nature. Therefore, the information obtained in this study can serve as a scientific base for further investigations to determine their efficacy and safety which might contribute to better integration of Palestinian traditional medicine into the global health system in the future.
背景
不孕不育被认为是全球公共卫生问题之一，在人类历史上，它也是人类不断繁衍过程中尚未解决的问题之一。本研究旨在收集和记录巴勒斯坦农村地区的巴勒斯坦传统医学从业者用于治疗男性和女性不孕不育的草药疗法的民族药理学数据。
方法
采用半结构式问卷，对巴勒斯坦西岸农村地区用于治疗不孕不育的药用植物进行民族药理学调查。该调查涉及在巴勒斯坦 9 个地区的农村地区采访的 51 名传统医学从业者。
结果
收集了 31 种用于治疗女性不孕不育和 24 种用于治疗男性不孕不育的植物信息。这些信息包括植物名称、使用部位、制剂方式和方法，是从在西岸/巴勒斯坦 9 个地区的农村地区接受采访的 51 名传统医学从业者那里获得的。这项调查是中东地区首次对当地巴勒斯坦传统医学从业者用于治疗男女不孕不育的草药疗法进行科学研究。在女性不孕不育病例中，使用频率最高的草药是角豆花粉（Ceratonia siliqua），为 98.04%；其次是滨藜（Anastatica hierochuntica）果实，为 88.24%；还有漆树（Parietaria judaica）叶，为 84.31%。在男性不孕不育病例中，使用频率最高的草药是乳香（Ferula hermonis）根，为 96.08%；其次是滨藜叶（Phlomis brachyodon），为 88.24%；还有枣椰花粉（Phoenix dactylifera），为 86.27%。
结论
巴勒斯坦西岸地区的草药医生有广泛的草药疗法用于治疗男性和女性的不孕不育。不幸的是，其中大多数缺乏药理学或毒理学性质的科学证据。因此，本研究获得的信息可以作为进一步研究的科学基础，以确定其疗效和安全性，这可能有助于未来将巴勒斯坦传统医学更好地纳入全球卫生系统。
