Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical composition, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities of the essential oil from Maqian (Zanthoxylum myriacanthum var. pubescens) in Xishuangbanna, SW China.
TL;DR: The findings not only justify the use of Maqian as an indigenous remedy for digestive disorders, detoxification, detumescence and analgesia, but also suggest that it could be promoted as a preferred substitute for Huajiao.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preliminary assessment of antioxidant activity of young edible leaves of seven Ficus species in the ethnic diet in Xishuangbanna, Southwest China
TL;DR: The total phenolic and flavonoid contents appear to be responsible, at least in part, for the extracts’ excellent antioxidant capacity and all the extracts exhibited dose-dependent antioxidant activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
The genus Ficus (Moraceae) used in diet: Its plant diversity, distribution, traditional uses and ethnopharmacological importance.
TL;DR: The genus Ficus is generally used as a dietary plant, although use of a individual species seems uncommon, and the diet-medicine overlap of the uses of this genus is highlighted to enable further understanding of the potential for broader health benefits, rather than limiting studies in this genus to its only-Medicinal properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical composition and oxidative evolution of Sacha Inchi (Plukentia volubilis L.) oil from Xishuangbanna (China)
TL;DR: Sacha Inchi oil was studied for physicochemical characteristics, chemical composition, radical scavenging activity and storage stability as mentioned in this paper, which showed relatively good storage stability after twelve months of storage.
Journal ArticleDOI
The implications of ritual practices and ritual plant uses on nature conservation: a case study among the Naxi in Yunnan Province, Southwest China
TL;DR: This study shows the live ritual activities and the beliefs of the residents are keeping the plant diversity and the entire forest preserved as sacred mountains and emphasizes traditional belief and an alternative view of conservation that is not led mainly by governmental policies.
