Use of South American plants for the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Extract
Two conditions greatly encourage the folk use of plants to cure diseases and alleviate ailments:
∘ plant biodiversity (the richer the better)
∘ particular cultural traits of local populations.
Where these conditions are met, local scientific advancement may result from experimentation with and elaboration of folk remedies. Unfortunately, little scientific research has been done on South American plants that may be useful in the treatment of central nervous system (CNS) disturbances.
