“…However, local wisdom can be threatened due to sociocultural changes and improper documentation of the use of plants (Gurib-Fakim 2006;Namsa et al 2011;Yusro et al 2014;Tamalene et al 2016;Rashid et al 2018;Supiandi et al 2019c;Jamir et al 2021;Kujawska and Hirschmann 2022), foreign cultural influences (Kustiawan 2007), forest degradation due to shifting cultivation, plantations, and forest fires (Setyawan 2010). Moreover, the study of the relationship between ritual language and its role in medicine has not been explored in depth (Noels et al 2014).…”

Abstract. Supiandi MI, Julung H, Susanti Y, Zubaidah S, Mahanal S. 2023. Potential of traditional medicinal plants in the Dayak Tamambaloh Tribe, West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 24: 3384-3393. The Dayak tribe in West Kalimantan (Indonesia) consists of 151 sub-ethnics, one of which is the Dayak Tamambaloh located in Temau Village, Embaloh Hulu Subdistrict, Kapuas Hulu District, West Kalimantan, Indonesia. This tribe uses the forest for various purposes, including plants as traditional medicines, which is a form of local wisdom in the community. However, the local wisdom can be threatened with extinction when it is not preserved properly. Factors contributing to the extinction of local wisdom include the influence of foreign cultures, forest degradation due to shifting cultivation, the existence of oil palm plantations, and forest fires. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the use of plants as traditional medicine with a qualitative descriptive approach. The method used was a survey; data were obtained from the key informants. They are knowledgeable about the uses of plants for traditional medicine. Data on medicinal plants were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, documentation, and were then analyzed descriptively and qualitatively. The results showed that the plants used to treat diseases by the Dayak Tamambaloh tribe were 58 and consisted of 29 families. The most widely used families were Zingiberaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Lamiaceae, Poaceae, and Musaceae, with 10, 4, 4, 4, and 3 species, respectively.

The utilization of medicinal plants for unconventional health therapy is increasingly gaining significant recognition and popularity on a global scale. Screening of phytochemicals plays a major role in discovering many bioactive compounds significant to human health. Many parameters and conditions such as physiological conditions, soil condition and the type of extracts correspond to significant changes in phytochemical compositions. Thereby, the current study aim to assess phytochemical, and trace element contents in eight traditionally-used medicinal plants from Benreu village, Nagaland along with the corresponding soil profile. The studied plants also exhibited variations in the levels of trace element content, viz. Fe, Zn, Mn, and Cu. Variable soil nutrient levels were also observed in soil samples for N, P and K. High values of flavonoids and phenols were observed, especially in Ageratina adenophora (820.39 ± 0.97 mg QE/100 g dw) and Erigeron karvinskianus (115.75 ± 0.36 mg GAE/100 g dw), respectively. This study, through qualitative screening and quantitative evaluations, provides essential baseline data on the phytochemical contents and essential elements present in commonly-used medicinal plants along with soil profile for the traditional treatment of various ailments.
