A total of 98 medicinal preparations, involving 69 species of plants, used by the Siddis of Uttara Kannada in the state of Karnataka is described in this paper based on an ethnomedical field study. The finding includes 40 hitherto unknown medicinal uses of known medicinal plants. Among these, the use of the stem sap of Calamus thwaitesii as an antifertility drug, and the use of the flowers of Ichnocarpus frutescens and the rhizome of Hedychium coronarium in the treatment of diabetes are noteworthy. The knowledge of medicinal plants of the Siddis is distinct from that of another tribe of the same locality, the Gowlis.
本文基于一项民族医学实地研究,描述了卡纳塔克邦北卡纳达县的西迪人使用的总共98种药物制剂,涉及69种植物。研究结果包括已知药用植物40种此前未知的药用用途。其中,用泰氏菖蒲的茎汁作为抗生育药物,以及用白叶藤的花和姜花的根茎治疗糖尿病值得关注。西迪人对药用植物的认知与同一地区的另一个部落高利斯人的认知不同。
