Exploring indigenous knowledge and practices of the Gurage community on the biosystematics and utilization of Enset landraces for bone fracture and regeneration: the case of Gurage Zone, central Ethiopia region
Indigenous knowledge has played a significant role in identifying, classifying, and cultivating Enset landraces. Astara, Kibinar, Dere, and Guarye are the most frequently used Enset landraces for healing fractured and broken bones. Further experimental studies to validate the ethnopharmacological uses of Enset for bone healing are highly recommended.
