Ethnomedicinal Study of Plants Sold in Quiapo, Manila, Philippines
Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Abstract: The study was able to identify thirty-two (32) species of plants being sold in Quaipo, Manila, Philippines as herbal medicines. These plants were sourced from different locations in the Philippines such as Cavite, Batangas, Rizal, Nueva Ecija, Bicol, Pampanga, Cebu, Antipolo, Quezon and Bulacan. The availability of medicinal plants in Quiapo and the way some Filipinos are patrnonizing it are, to a certain extent, reflects the larger cultural dimension of the nation. The series of oral and written interviews that were conducted reveal, in a glimpse, the strong spiritual, economical and familial background of a typical Filipino. Keywords: Ethnomedicine; Ethnobotany; Medicinal Plants; Quiapo; Philippines.
