From the beginning of recorded history through the present day, dermatologic disorders have been treated with ethnomedicine remedies. We present the ethnodermatologic practices in Transylvania, Romania. We conducted ethnomedicine surveys in 35 villages in Transylvania (2007-2019). The 650 people interviewed were questioned about the treatment of dermatologic disorders by drugs derived from plant, animal, human, or other origins. Collected data were compared to earlier records of the regions and other European countries, completed with relevant pharmacologic studies of some plants. A total of 180 drugs were documented for 45 skin problems, including 112 plants, 1 fungus, 19 animals, 5 humans, and 43 other materials used in 11 preparation forms. Among these, 144 drugs were mentioned in humans, 10 in veterinary medicines, and 26 included in both therapies with overlapping human/animal (eg, Petroselinum crispum) and specific uses (eg, Daphne mezereum, Scrophularia nodosa). Compared to data from other countries, the local use of 32 plants and various animals and minerals was described only in the study area. The present study demonstrates that ethnomedicine practices are a valuable source of knowledge for skin diseases and highlight the relevance of fieldwork in the selected regions of Transylvania.
从有记录的历史之初到如今，皮肤病一直都采用民族医学疗法进行治疗。我们介绍罗马尼亚特兰西瓦尼亚地区的民族皮肤病学实践。我们在特兰西瓦尼亚的35个村庄开展了民族医学调查（2007年至2019年）。对接受访谈的650人询问了有关使用源自植物、动物、人类或其他来源的药物治疗皮肤病的情况。将收集到的数据与该地区及其他欧洲国家的早期记录进行比较，并结合对一些植物的相关药理学研究。共记录了用于45种皮肤问题的180种药物，包括112种植物药、1种菌类、19种动物药、5种人用药以及43种其他材料，以11种制剂形式使用。其中，有144种药物用于人类，10种用于兽医学，26种同时用于人类和动物治疗（如皱叶欧芹），且具有重叠的人类/动物用途（如桂叶芫花、玄参）和特定用途。与其他国家的数据相比，仅在研究区域描述了32种植物以及各种动物和矿物质的当地用途。本研究表明，民族医学实践是皮肤病知识的宝贵来源，并凸显了在特兰西瓦尼亚选定地区开展实地调查的重要性。
