A literature search and traditional narration determined that at least 58 herbs with scientific names were commonly used by Hawaiians for asthma. Of particular note were Piper methysticum, solanum americanum, and Aleurites molucana with oral tradition singling out Sophora chrysophylla. These four therapeutic agents, especially Sophora, have scientific merit and warrant further investigation because of the recent increase in asthma mortality, their potential for improved patient compliance, minimal of side effects, and the low cost.
通过文献检索和传统叙述发现，夏威夷人常用于治疗哮喘的至少有58种有科学名称的草药。特别值得注意的是卡瓦胡椒、美洲茄和石栗，口头传统特别提到了金叶槐。由于近期哮喘死亡率上升、它们具有提高患者依从性的潜力、副作用最小且成本低，这四种治疗药物，尤其是金叶槐，具有科学价值，值得进一步研究。
