Introduction

The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the fragility of healthcare systems worldwide and renewed interest in complementary approaches to disease management. In the mountainous region of Teziutlán, Puebla (México), traditional herbal medicine has played a significant role in community-based responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Methods

This cross-sectional ethnobotanical study aimed to document the medicinal plants used for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19 symptoms by traditional healers and laypersons with experiential knowledge. Data collection was conducted in two phases: semistructured interviews with 38 individuals, including 13 traditional healers, and structured surveys administered to 221 patients at a local health center.

Results

A total of 36 plant-based ingredients were identified, with espinosilla (Loeselia mexicana (Lam) Brandegee), garlic (Allium sativum), ginger (Zingiber officinale), lemon (Citrus limon), cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum), and elderberry (Sambucus spp.) among the most frequently cited. Leaves, bulbs, and rhizomes were the most used plant parts, primarily prepared through infusions and decoctions. While most respondents reported no adverse effects, some highlighted potential gastrointestinal or dermatological reactions. Relative frequency of citation analyses showed high consensus on key species.

Conclusion

These findings provide a foundational inventory of species for future pharmacological evaluation and highlight the cultural continuity and relevance of traditional medicine in times of health crises.

2019冠状病毒病大流行凸显了全球卫生保健系统的脆弱性，重新引起了人们对疾病管理补充方法的关注。在普埃布拉（macimxico） Teziutlán山区，传统草药在社区应对SARS-CoV-2感染方面发挥了重要作用。方法采用横断面民族植物学研究方法，记录传统治疗师和外行经验知识人员用于预防和治疗COVID-19症状的药用植物。数据收集分两个阶段进行：对38个人进行半结构化访谈，其中包括13名传统治疗师，以及对当地卫生中心的221名患者进行结构化调查。结果共鉴定出36种植物性成分，其中最常被引用的植物性成分有黄皮草（Loeselia mexicana (Lam) Brandegee）、大蒜（Allium sativum）、姜（Zingiber officinale）、柠檬（Citrus limon）、肉桂（Cinnamomum verum）和接骨木果（Sambucus spp.）。叶、球茎和根茎是最常用的植物部位，主要通过浸剂和煎剂制备。虽然大多数受访者报告没有不良反应，但一些人强调了潜在的胃肠道或皮肤反应。对关键物种的相对被引频次分析显示出较高的一致性。结论这些发现为未来的药理学评估提供了基础物种清单，并突出了传统医学在健康危机时期的文化连续性和相关性。

Background

The use of herbal medicine has surged globally in recent decades, with a significant proportion of populations, particularly in Africa, relying on traditional remedies for healthcare needs. This study investigates the prevalence and patterns of herbal medicine use among pregnant and breastfeeding women in Berber city, northern Sudan.

Methodology

A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2023 to January 2024 among pregnant and breastfeeding women attending obstetrics and gynaecology clinics in Berber. Data were collected through structured, face-to-face interviews covering demographics, herbal use during pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding, types of herbs used, perceived benefits, adverse effects, and sources of information. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 23.

Results

Among 250 participants, 60.4% reported not using herbal medicine during pregnancy, while 95.2% reported use during breastfeeding. Commonly used herbs included Almahrib (Cymbopogon schoenanthus), cinnamon (Cinnamomum spp.), fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum), and Argel (Solenostemma argel), used for labour induction, uterine cleansing, flavouring, and lactation support. Cultural beliefs were the main motivator (58.7%), with family and friends cited as the primary information sources (86.8%). Adverse effects were rarely reported, and only 10.8% of participants consulted healthcare providers. No significant associations were found between demographic variables and herbal use during pregnancy, but age was significantly associated with herbal use during breastfeeding (P = 0.024).

Conclusion

Herbal medicine use is widespread among women in Berber, particularly during breastfeeding, largely influenced by cultural practices. While generally perceived as safe, low consultation rates with healthcare professionals highlight the need for culturally sensitive, evidence-based education to support safe maternal health practices.

近几十年来，草药的使用在全球范围内激增，很大一部分人口，特别是在非洲，依靠传统疗法满足医疗保健需求。本研究调查了苏丹北部柏柏尔市孕妇和哺乳期妇女使用草药的流行程度和模式。方法从2023年11月至2024年1月，在柏柏尔地区产科和妇科诊所就诊的孕妇和哺乳期妇女中进行描述性横断面研究。通过结构化的面对面访谈收集数据，包括人口统计数据、怀孕、分娩和哺乳期间的草药使用情况、使用的草药类型、感知的益处、副作用和信息来源。数据分析采用SPSS version 23。结果在250名参与者中，60.4%的人在怀孕期间没有使用草药，而95.2%的人在母乳喂养期间使用草药。常用的草药包括Almahrib (Cymbopogon schoenanthus)，肉桂（Cinnamomum spp.），胡芦巴（Trigonella foenum-graecum）和安格尔（Solenostemma Argel），用于引产，子宫清洁，调味和哺乳支持。文化信仰是主要的激励因素（58.7%），家人和朋友是主要的信息来源（86.8%）。不良反应很少报告，只有10.8%的参与者咨询了医疗保健提供者。人口统计学变量与怀孕期间草药使用之间没有显著关联，但年龄与母乳喂养期间草药使用显著相关（P = 0.024）。结论柏柏尔妇女普遍使用草药，特别是在母乳喂养期间，很大程度上受文化习俗的影响。虽然通常被认为是安全的，但与保健专业人员的咨询率较低，突出表明需要对文化敏感、以证据为基础的教育，以支持安全的孕产妇保健做法。
