“…Regarding the prevention of COVID-19 respiratory symptoms, this study showed that 80.2% of the population of Cusco, Peru, used medicinal plants for this purpose. Comparatively, a study conducted in a population of the state of Querétaro in Mexico showed that the main conditions treated with medicinal plants were asthma (18.42%), bronchitis (2.6%), flu (5.2%), congestion in the respiratory tract (10.5%), sore throat (21%), throat infection (15.7%), pneumonia (5.2%), sinusitis (10.55%), cough (55.2%), and tuberculosis (2.6%) [ 70 ]. Additionally, there are populations in many regions of the world that are using medicinal plants for the prevention of COVID-19, because these plants are more readily available than Western medicine.…”

Background The burden of the COVID-19 pandemic in Peru has led to people seeking alternative treatments as preventives and treatment options such as medicinal plants. This study aimed to assess factors associated with the use of medicinal plants as preventive or treatment of respiratory symptom related to COVID-19 during the pandemic in Cusco, Peru. Method A web-based cross-sectional study was conducted on general public (20- to 70-year-old) from August 31 to September 20, 2020. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire via Google Forms, it consisted of an 11-item questionnaire that was developed and validated by expert judgment using Aiken’s V (Aiken’s V > 0.9). Both descriptive statistics and bivariate followed by multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted to assess factors associated with the use of medicinal plants for COVID-19 prevention and respiratory symptom treatment during the pandemic. Prevalence ratios (PR) with 95% Confidence Interval (CI), and a P-value of 0.05 was used to determine statistical significance. Results A total of 1,747 respondents participated in the study, 80.2% reported that they used medicinal plants as preventives, while 71% reported that they used them to treat respiratory symptoms. At least, 24% of respondents used medicinal plants when presenting with two or more respiratory symptoms, while at least 11% used plants for malaise. For treatment or prevention, the multivariate analysis showed that most respondents used eucalyptus (p < 0.001 for both), ginger (p < 0.022 for both), spiked pepper (p < 0.003 for both), garlic (p = 0.023 for prevention), and chamomile (p = 0.011 for treatment). The respondents with COVID-19 (p < 0.001), at older ages (p = 0.046), and with a family member or friend who had COVID-19 (p < 0.001) used more plants for prevention. However, the respondents with technical or higher education used less plants for treatment (p < 0.001). Conclusion There was a significant use of medicinal plants for both prevention and treatment, which was associated with several population characteristics and whether respondents had COVID-19.

“…Existe una gran variedad de trabajos en torno al uso de plantas medicinales en el mundo, sin embargo, la gran mayoría de las contribuciones se han desarrollado en localidades rurales o en comunidades tradicionales u originarias. Por ejemplo, en México, entre los años 1960 y 2010, los estudios etnobotánicos se realizaron en 40 de los más de 60 grupos originarios del país, no obstante más del 50% de estos estudios se concentraron sólo en seis grupos de la región centro-sur de México (Narvaez-Elizondo et al, 2021), y son pocos los que se han realizado en ciudades o centros urbanos, entre los que se encuentran el de Martínez-Moreno et al (2016) en mercados de Puebla; Juárez- Pérez & Cabrera-Luna (2019), para la ciudad de Santiago de Querétaro, y Villanueva-Solís et al (2020) en dos mercados del centro de Actopan del estado de Hidalgo.…”

“…Asimismo, estas familias coinciden como las más representativas para su uso medicinal de acuerdo con el registro de diversos autores como Azevedo y Silva (2006), en Brasil, Boletín Latinoamericano y del Caribe de Plantas Medicinales y Aromáticas / 80 Eyssartier et al (2009), Arias-Toledo (2009), y Puentes (2017), en la Argentina, Zambrano-Intriago et al (2015) en Ecuador, y Traversa (2020), en las áreas urbanas del norte de Uruguay. Se ha argumentado que el uso amplio de estas familias de plantas medicinales potencialmente esté relacionado con la presencia de diversos principios activos en sus especies (Heinrich et al, 1998;Bakkali et al, 2008;Zheng et al, 2013;Palma-Tenango et al, 2017), los cuales son reconocidos de manera empírica por parte de las personas que las utilizan (Juárez- Pérez & Cabrera-Luna, 2019).…”

Medicinal plants have been used by various cultures since pre-Hispanic times in Mexico. In this study, the use of medicinal plants in the old neighborhoods of Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico is described. 137 species, 130 genera and 68 families were recorded. 34% of the species belong to Asteraceae, Lamiaceae, Malvaceae and Fabaceae families. The neighborhoods of Mexicaltzingo and San Juan de Dios are the most related to the knowledge and use of medicinal plants, while El Santuario is the least similar to the rest. The diversity of uses of medicinal plants according to the Shannon index is high (between 3.0 and 4.92). The Use Value Index showed that Matricaria chamomilla L. was the species that obtained the highest value (0.28), followed by Gnaphalium americanum Mill. (0.23). The age group between 51 and 85 years old has greater knowledge about medicinal plants their uses.
