ETHNOBOTANICAL AND
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RESEARCH
The world is home to an immensely diverse pool of
irreplaceable knowledge: ethnological, botanical and medicinal. The
traditional medical knowledge of indigenous peoples has become severely
endangered. The younger generation is no longer interested or has
turned towards western medicine.
PlantaPhile researches the variety and application of plants in folk
medicines in order to make this knowledge public and thus save the
wisdom of centuries-old tradition. Use of these plants imply a huge
potential for application in Western natural medicine.
Publication of this knowledge sets focus points of interest from which
in the long run mutual benefit will be derived for both the developed
world and the indigenous peoples; locally: by establishing new economic
potential, globally: through new applications for herbal preparations
in modern
medicine.
We work in close co-operation with local partners: botanists, doctors,
healers and other plant experts, thus acknowledging and protecting
intellectual property rights of indigenous peoples and ensuring maximum
efficiency.
