Ethnobotanical study of traditional medicinal plants used by the Miao people in Hainan, China
This demonstrates that through oral transmission and personal instruction, knowledge of medicinal plants diversity has been passed down from generation to generation, ensuring its continuity and preserving a unique traditional culture for treating various diseases. However, the aging of knowledge holders poses a threat to the loss of traditional knowledge, making it imperative to take measures to preserve the continuity of this knowledge. This survey provides valuable data and insights for the sustainable utilization and conservation of Miao medicinal plant resources, as well as the transmission of traditional medical knowledge.
