Informal interviews, using a semi-structured questionnaire, involving 65 informants (ages 30-78 years old) provided information on 62 plant species of medicinal value belonging to 34 families and 56 genera. Leaves were the most widely used plant parts which were commonly prepared by boiling in water (decoction) and administered orally. Stomach ailments, respiratory diseases, wounds or cuts, and muscle pains or over fatigue in women were the most common health problems treated by the identified medicinal plants. Some of the medicinal plants enumerated in the study were also utilized by other indigenous groups in the Philippines. Such widespread use of these plants by different groups could to a certain extent be attributed to their efficacy. 650 04 $aPLANTS, MEDICINAL 650 04 $aETHNOBOTANY 650 04 $aMEDICINAL HERBS 650 04 $aMEDICINAL PLANTS 650 04 $aETHNOBOTANICAL 650 04 $aETHNOBOTANICAL STUDY 650 04 $aPLANTS, MEDICINAL 650 04 $aETHNOBOTANY 991 ## $wANALYTICS           Physical Location           Digital Copy Not Available          Add to Book Cart  |   Download MARC
