Design of a WEB application to create a repository of medicinal plants used by the Nahuas of the Huauchinango region

The communication problem that the Nahua population of the state of Puebla currently have about medicinal herbs and alternative therapies is increasingly complicated, given that several cultural values are being lost, so it is an important opportunity to use digital media to rescue some remedies. The objective of this project is to develop an application to create and maintain a data repository that contains information on the medicinal plants used by the Nahua communities of the Huauchinango region. This project was born out of the need to communicate to future generations about the knowledge that is currently practiced in the Nahua communities about the properties of medicinal herbs in the region. The research work is carried out with the specialists of traditional peasant medicine with whom the diversity, use and management of medicinal plants classified by specialists of the Nahua peoples that they use to solve multiple diseases within their communities are documented. By having the system finished, the end user will be able to make queries about the medicinal plants, as well as the formula or recipe of the remedies. The administration of the repository can be done from a progressive WEB application.

Essential and toxic elements in three Pakistan's medicinal fruits (Punica granatumZiziphus jujuba and Piper cubeba) analysed by INAA

Three important medicinal fruits generally used by the people of Pakistan for the treatment of different diseases have been studied for their mineral contents. Twenty-two major and minor trace elements (essential, toxic and non-essential) were identified in Punica granatum (pomegranate), Ziziphus jujuba (jujube) and Piper cubeba L. (cubeb) by employing instrumental neutron activation analysis technique. The studied medicinal herbs are a good source of the essential elements while toxic elements are found in trace amounts. K is detected as a major element in pomegranate, jujube and cubeb with respective values of 1.20%, 1.18% and 2.01%. Pomegranate has significant concentrations of Na, Zn, Cr and Se; jujube has high Cl, Zn, Mn and Co contents while cubeb is a good source of K and Fe. The baseline data presented in this work can be used in understanding the role of mineral elements in nutritive, preventive and therapeutic properties of medicinal herbs.
