Ethnobotanical Study of Cultivated Plants in Kai šiadorys District, Lithuania: Possible Trends for New Herbal Based Medicines.

Conclusions: Only 19 of the cultivated medicinal plant species mentioned by interviewed persons are described in the World Health Organization monographs. This means that the remaining 52 species are used without the World Health Organization approved medical indications, based solely on the folk medicine knowledge and experience. This study showed that the folk use of plants is strongly rooted in daily practice in the studied area. PMID: 31239859 [PubMed]
