The rich and diverse flora of Armenia has been used for medicinal purposes for at least 3000 years. The relevant literature in Armenian, English, and Russian revealed a vast array of used medicinal plants, some of them unique to the Caucasus region. The usage of medicinal plants confirms the position of Armenia as a country at the crossroads of Asia and Europe because of its traditional usage of medicinal plants from both continents. Literature data in Armenian, English, and Russian on medicinal plants of Armenia were mainly obtained using various electronic databases. From all available sources, 320 Armenian medicinal plant species were extracted with their botanical and local names and traditional uses. The use of medicinal plants by the Armenian people is systematically compiled, including the used plant organs and preparations and the ailments for which the various taxa are/were used. Medicinal plants of Armenia are represented for both wild and cultivated species. Some of the taxa used are unique to Armenia or the Caucasus region, while many other species are also used in various other countries. Some of the species from traditional Armenian medicine are currently being studied using modern methods.
亚美尼亚丰富多样的植物群至少在3000年前就已被用于药用目的。亚美尼亚语、英语和俄语的相关文献揭示了大量已使用的药用植物，其中一些是高加索地区特有的。药用植物的使用证实了亚美尼亚作为一个处于亚洲和欧洲十字路口的国家的地位，因为其传统上使用来自这两个大陆的药用植物。关于亚美尼亚药用植物的亚美尼亚语、英语和俄语文献数据主要是通过各种电子数据库获得的。从所有可用来源中，提取了320种亚美尼亚药用植物物种，包括它们的植物学名和当地名称以及传统用途。亚美尼亚人民对药用植物的使用进行了系统整理，包括所使用的植物器官和制剂以及使用各种分类群治疗的疾病。亚美尼亚的药用植物既有野生种也有栽培种。一些使用的分类群是亚美尼亚或高加索地区特有的，而许多其他物种也在其他国家被使用。目前正在使用现代方法对一些传统亚美尼亚医学中的物种进行研究。
