Background: The traditional medical practices of the Daur region are an important element in Chinese ethnomedicinal knowledge. However, relatively little recording of traditional Daur medicine (TDM) has been carried out. As it is gradually being replaced by traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and modern medicine, further research is urgently needed. Methods: We collected ethnobotany and ethnozoology data about their local name, parts used and diseases to be treated, dosage, and route for administration through semi-structured interviews with 114 informants (18 sessions), focus group discussions (6 sessions), and extensive literature reviews. Medicinal samples and specimens were collected during field investigations from June 2015 to October 2018. The diseases and ailments reported as being treated were classified according to the International Classification of Diseases 11 th (ICD-11). The expression correlation of medicine classification, medicine, and disease was assessed using Cytoscape 3.6.1 software. Quantitative indices such as informant consensus factor (ICF) and use value (UV) were used to evaluate the importance of ethnomedicinal data. Results: We documented 30 plant species (from 19 families) and 21 animal species (from 11 families). In the past, the majority of plant species were collected from natural habitats, but now they are mainly cultivated. The most widely utilized plants were herbs (21 species), followed by shrubs (4), trees (3), and fungus (2). The most utilized groups of animals were mammals (14 species), followed by birds (5), amphibians (1), and reptiles (1). Medicines were mostly administered orally (43) but were also applied externally (11) or delivered via both routes (9). Informants indicated that medicines were prepared via decoction (21), grinding (11), boiling (10), extraction (8), and burning (7). Medicines were taken as a drink (37), eaten (16), or made into pills and powders (7), but could also be administered as an ointment/wash (6), wrap/dressing (5), in the nose, eyes, and mouth (4), or as a fumigate (2). The TDMs investigated in this study treated 76 human diseases or ailments classified under 13 disease categories, based on the ICD-11. The highest ICF (1.00) was reported for neoplasms and visual system diseases and childbirth or the puerperium, followed by injury, poisoning, or other diseases resulting from external causes (0.92), and symptoms, signs or clinical findings, not elsewhere classified (0.82). The most used medicinal species were Cervus elaphus , Cervus nippon , Capreolus , Gallus , Canis lupus familiaris , Betula platyphylla , and Artemisia integrifolia . Conclusions: A substantial body of ethnobotanical and ethnozoological knowledge could lead to the development of new medicines. Therefore, research into Daur ethnic medicines is urgently required The current research can make an important contribution to the body of knowledge about the national medicine of the Daur people. This is particularly important because the younger generation is not interested in learning and preserving their traditional medical practices. The information documented in the present study will provide a useful basis for future investigations into the ethnopharmacological and traditional knowledge of the Daur region.

Background: The classification and application of Daur medicine is an essential part of Chinese ethnomedicinal knowledge. However, the cataloging of traditional Daur medicine is still limited. As Daur medicine is gradually being replaced by traditional Chinese and modern medicine, further research is urgently needed.Methods: We collected ethnobotany and ethnozoology data via semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and extensive literature reviews. Medicinal samples and specimens were collected during field investigations from June 2015 to October 2018. Attending diseases and ailments were classified according to the International Classification of Diseases 11th (ICD-11). The expression correlation of medicine classification, medicine and disease was assessed using Cytoscape 3.6.1 software. Use values were calculated to determine the importance of tradition medicinal plants and animals.Results: We documented 30 plant species (from 19 families) and 21 animal species (from 11 families). The majority of the species were previously collected from natural habitats but they have gradually become cultivated. The most widely utilized plants were herbs (21 species), followed by shrubs (4), trees (3), and fungus (2). The most utilized groups of animals were mammals (14 species), followed by birds (5), amphibians (1), and reptiles (1). Medicines were mostly administered orally (39), but were also externally applied (11), or via both routes (9). Informants indicated that medicines were prepared via decoction (21), grinding (11), boiling (10), extraction (8), and burning (7). Most medicines are taken/consumed as a drink (37), eaten (16), or made into pills and powders (7), but also used as an anointment/wash (6), wrap/dressing (5), in the nose, eyes, and mouth (4), or as a fumigate (2). The reported traditional Daur medicines treated 76 human diseases or ailments classified under 13 disease categories, based on the ICD-11. The most commonly used medicinal species were Cervus elaphus, Cervus nippon, Capreolus capreolus, Gallus gallus, Canis lupus familiaris, Betula platyphylla, and Artemisia integrifolia.Conclusions: A wealth of ethnobiological and ethnozoological knowledge exists, which may lead to the development of new drugs; thus, such knowledge urgently requires documentation. The information documented in the present study will be useful for future studies on the ethnopharmacological and traditional knowledge of the Daur region.

“…Therefore, it is necessary to have a more comprehensive understanding of ethnic medicine. On the other hand, the fourth national survey on Chinese matiera medica resources is in progress in China, and the main tasks of which are to master the basic situation of Chinese matiera medica resources and to explore fully the modern value of herbal medicine knowledge including ethnic medicine and folk medicine, strengthening the construction of Chinese materia medica resources [8] . Yunnan is rich in Chinese matiera medica resources, known as the 'kingdom of plants'.…”

Background: Yunnan Province is a multi-ethnic area located in the southwest of China, and she also is rich in Chinese matiera medica resources, known as the ‘kingdom of plants’. There is abundant of ethnomedicine resources in Yunnan province and many ethnic minorities inherit and retain numerous knowledge of traditional medicine. The biomedicine and big health industry have been the pillar industry of Yunnan since 2016, which is the important pharmaceutical industrial base for Dai Medicine and Yi Medicine in China, for example Yunnan Baiyao with “amazing efficacy” and originating from a Yi medical formula. Yi medicine and Dai medicine of Yunnan Province were investigated in this work focusing on the basic information of Dai patent medicine (DPM) and Yi patent medicine (YPM), including the clinical indications, herbal resources and their sources of traditional knowledge. Methods: The data and information were collected from the published literatures and some public service websites, and the data base of DPM and YPM was established including the information about manufacturer, approval number, clinical indication, prescription composition, dosage form of drug, etc. We investigated the references and literatures including the publicly available pharmaceutical instructions ensuring the authenticity and reliability of the investigation. Results: The results showed that there were 28 varieties of DPMs and 73 varieties of YPMs approved to use in clinical according to the drug regulatory laws of China. In the DPMs and YPMs, about 109 and 197 herbal medicines are recorded in China Pharmacopoeia, 18 and 52 herbs are recorded in Standards for Chinese medicinal materials in Yunnan Province respectively. Nearly 20 herbs have not any quality standard. Among these herbal medicines, there are 10 herbs considered as Dai Medicine and 30 herbs as Yi Medicine. In order to produce these DPMs and YPMs, about 16 animal medicines and 17 rare and endangered medicinal materials would be collected and used. Conclusions: The investigation would provide a more detailed report on Yunnan ethnic medicine industry, and it should be believed reasonably that the ethnomedicine of Yunnan Province will give more choices for human health through scientific experiments and dealing with the sustainable utilization of medicine resources.
