This work features the results of an ethnobotanical study on the uses of medicinal plants by the inhabitants of the region near tothe Kutuku Scientific Station of Universidad Politecnica Salesiana located in the Morona-Santiago province southeast of EcuadorIn the surroundings of the station one ethnic group the Shuar has been identified The survey hereafter reports a total of 131 plantspecies with 73 different therapeutic uses

1 Introduction

Plants have played a fundamental role for the development ofAndean cultures ever since man first arrived to that regionapproximately 10000 years ago [1] Through history manhas utilized vegetable resources as a source of nutritionmedicines fuel and building materials and they even occu-pied an important place within their belief system and rites[2]

According to the World Health Organization [3 4] about80 of the world population uses natural remedies and tradi-tional medicine Such medicine comes from forest resourcesthat provide a series of benefits to the local regional andnational populations and include raw materials patrimonyprotection and scenic beauty [5] Nowadays Ecuador locat-ed on the equator line is considered as one of the countrieswith the greatest biodiversity in the world [6] In Ecuadorthere exist many areas of biological interest that for theirunique features currently provide diverse uses for the benefitof the population [7] These uses of natural resources are thefruits of the accumulation of the ancestral knowledge thatthe local population has kept until now [8] This traditionalknowledge has been orally transmitted from one generation

to the next but over the last decades the crisis of therural world threatens this rich patrimony which may belost together with many interesting aspects concerning thetraditional exploitation of natural resources [9]

In Ecuador many ethnobotanical studies have beenmade that is Villacres [10] studied the bioactivity of plantsof the Amazon jungle from the province of Napo Ceron andMontalvo [11] published a book on the ethnobotanical aspectsof the ldquoHuaoranirdquo people in a specific zone in the northeast ofEcuador the cultural practices of Quechua society in Napowere analyzed in a book by Iglesias [12] Tene et al [13]performed an ethnobotanical study onmedicinal plants usedin Loja and Zamora Chinchipe A few studies have also beenmade concerning the traditional use of plants in the Saragurocommunity of south Ecuador [14ndash16]

In this workwe analyzed the ethnobotanical patrimony ofKutuku Scientific Station located on the Kutuku mountainrange in the Morona-Santiago province Ecuador By doingthat we intended to safeguard the popular knowledge con-cerning plants and to produce a database of plant uses andadvantages This data could be used by the citizens them-selves and could be the base for future actions in programsof scientific investigations environmental education social

awareness and natural resources exploitation as well as thestart point of touristic attraction based on the sustainabledevelopment of the territory

2 Methodology

The research herein was performed between August andDecember of 2013 within the area of the Kutuku BiologicalStation belonging to Universidad Politecnica Salesiana delEcuador (2∘18101584039110158401015840S 78∘06101584011610158401015840W) with 800ndash1200m aslThe territory of the station covers 250 hectares and is locatedwithin the Kutuku-Shaimi Protected Forest (BPKS) in thecenter of Ecuadorrsquos eastern region east of the city ofMacas inthe parish of SevillaDonBosco province ofMorona-Santiago(Figure 1)

Within the area of the scientific station big forest exten-sions of the evergreen humid type really difficult to accessstill persist in the low montane montane and high montanebelts [17] The month average temperature ranges between16 and 27∘C and the total annual precipitation is 3021mmapproximately [18] Close to the territory of the scientificstation where this study was carried out about 7 indigenouscommunities can be found all of these belong to the ethnicgroup ldquoShuarrdquo (Table 1)

For this investigation a qualitative ethnobotanical meth-od was carried out [20] in which mostly adult persons havebeen contacted who live within the area under study andknow the use of medicinal plants One hundred and sixtyinhabitants of the seven communities were interviewed Allrespondents were farmers or elderly belonging to the ldquoShuarrdquoethnicity or their descendants

The collected data were processed and the results areexpressed in a list of medicinal plants with scientific namesfamilies collection point used parts form of preparationtraditional uses and distribution (Table 2)The plant sampleswere processed and identified at the Ecuadorian NationalHerbarium (QCNE) They were deposited with their respec-tive code at the Herbarium of the Universidad PolitecnicaSalesiana in the city of Quito Ecuador The botanic nomen-clature was registered according to the Catalog of VascularPlants of Ecuador [6] A contact was established with theShuar community through their authorized representativeswith the possibility of performing more precise studies inthe future for the recovery protection and sustainable use oftheir traditional knowledge

3 Result and Discussion

The ethnobotanical study performed in this work gave us areal panorama about the natural remedies used by the inhab-itants in the territory of the Kutuku Scientific Station of theMorona canton of the province of Morona-Santiago south ofEcuadorThis researchwas realizedwith ldquoShuarrdquo communitywhich is very different from the ldquoAchuarrdquo community cited inthe article by Giovannini [21] even the geographical locationand the altitude are different

One hundred thirty-one different plants have been iden-tified which manymedicinal properties have been attributedto their uses and forms of therapeutic usage also have beenrecorded From the total number of plants 107 are native 9are grown traditionally 9 are endemic and 6 are cultivated[6]

Figure 2 The most frequently used families of plants in the area of Kutuku Scientific Station

This long list of plants comprises species yet unknownfrom a phytochemical point of view as well as deeply studiedones for example Croton lechleriMull Arg and Ilex guayusaLoes Croton lechleri is used locally as a wound healingaid as a treatment for ulcers and sometimes for vaginalinfections These usages and other are scientifically validatedin literature especially concerning the treatment of infectionsand the wound healing aid [22] According to another author[13] Croton lechleri is traditionally used in Ecuador as adiuretic remedy and is also employed to treat dermatologicand hepatic illnesses

Ilex guayusa is used in case of gastritis as a stimulantreplacing coffee and to enhance fertility in women In theAmazon forest of Ecuador and Peru a traditional guayusadecoction that yields a high content of caffeine is used as astimulant in the morning [23] It is also reported [24] thatIlex guayusa of Peru has a strong antimicrobial activity

Verbena litoralis Kunth keeps being very appreciated inlocal medicine particularly for the treatment of headachesulcers and alopecia Data in scientific literature [25] supportits activity as an analgesic too

According to the collected information the plants utilizedfor headache treatment areVirola pavonis (A DC) A C SmSiparuna harlingii S S Renner ampHausner Byrsonima arthro-podaA JussAcmella ciliata (Kunth)Cass andCitharexylumpoeppigiiWalp

Virola pavonis is used and very appreciated by the localinhabitants for the treatment of diseases from inflammationto headache from hangovers to renal problems OutsideEcuador this plant was tested in Brazil for the treatment ofleishmaniosis [26] while the antifungal activity of theextracts from the leaves was studied in detail by Zacchinoet al [27] The leaves of Siparuna harlingii S S Renner ampHausner are used by the local inhabitants as remedies forheadache and cough and as an anti-inflammatory At otherlatitudes different authors described diverse applications ofthis plant in Zamora Chinchipe province of Ecuador theinhabitants employ it against rheumatism [28] meanwhile inColombia it is used to treat illnesses of nervous system andstomach [29]

The bark of Byrsonima arthropoda in decoction is em-ployed as an analgesic although the whole plant is usedas food for birds and mammals The Makuna Indians fromPraparana River a ColombianAmazon ethnic group uses theground plant as a wound healing aid [30]

In our study we found that the leaves of Acmella ciliataare used as a remedy against diarrhea headaches colds andtoothache and for ldquomal airerdquo Only a few papers are availablein literature either ethnopharmacologic or phytochemicalfor Acmella ciliata In a study performed in the state of MinasGerais in Brazil [31] it is reported that the leaves of this plantare traditionally used to treat hepatic problems

From the flowers and leaves of Citharexylum poeppigiiaqueous infusions are prepared which are used to treataffections of upper respiratory tract such as cough Thisinfusion is also used for digestive discomfort headaches andmenstrual cramps In literature information concerning theethnobotanical use of this species is lacking nonethelessthe presence of this plant is confirmed in Ecuador [32] andVenezuela [33]

The plant families mostly used by the inhabitants are Ru-biaceae (15) Piperaceae (11) Melastomataceae (9) Malvaceae(7) Arecaceae (7) Solanaceae (6) and Euphorbiaceae (4)Figure 2 shows the plant families reported in this study witha main role in the traditional use

In the area of Kutuku Scientific Station plants of the Rubi-aceae family are used mostly as anticarcinogens (4) for cir-culatory system problems (4) as a treatment for diabetes (3)and against malaria (2) In literature plants of the Rubiaceaefamily are reported as being antihepatotoxic [34] as well ashaving anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities [35]

Piperaceae plants are often used locally against kidneyand urinary tract affections (3) as wound healing aids (3)and curiously sometimes as an abortive (2) The use of theplants of this family in infusions of whole plant is frequentlyreported in the literature which confirms the usage as woundhealing aid [36] and for the treatment of kidney affections[37]

In this study we found that the plants of the Melastom-ataceae family are used especially as treatment of poisonoussnake bites and for wound healing (4) Many plants of thisfamily are used in Mexico for the traditional treatment ofgingivitis and oral infections overall [38] and have been testedin Brazil for treating gastrointestinal problems [39]

We confirm the usage of plants of the Malvaceae familyas diuretic remedies as reported for example in Alarcon-Alonso et al [40] forHibiscus sabdariffa L and also the use ofPatinoa sphaerocarpa Cuatrec in the same way The antiviralproperties of the plants of the Arecaceae family reported forexample in Cocos nucifera L from Brazil [41] are confirmed

Figure 3 Main therapeutic uses of the plants of the Kutuku Scientific Station reported in this article

on the base of the speciesGeonoma chococolaWess Boer andGeonoma interrupta (Ruiz amp Pav) Mart found at the KutukuScientific Station

The plants of the Solanaceae family are used generally asa treatment for syphilis (3) rheumatism (2) kidney problems(2) and infections of the urinary tract (2) A study carried outin the Bolivian Chaco pointed out the traditional use of somespecies of Solanaceae family for the treatment of headachesfever acne and diarrhea [42] these pharmacological usescan be correlated with our findings Besides the Solanaceaefamily has been broadly studied and its plants are used fortheir hallucinogenic properties [43]

Plants of the Euphorbiaceae family are used mostly aswound healing aids (2) for intestinal problems (1) for diar-rhea (1) and as hepatoprotective agents (1) the latter beingconfirmed by a study performed in India [44]

Many plants of these families and of the other familiesreported in this study are used for the treatment of ldquoespantordquoor ldquomal airerdquo a typical Andean pathology that is poorlydefined in which the psychosomatic problems originatedfromphobia factors produce deep physical and psychologicalweakness [45] To talk about etiology of ldquomal airerdquo is not justtalk about the origin of the disease but rather is to speak ofthe limits of medicine and get into the field of philosophicalapproaches in general the ldquomal airerdquo is a state of generaldecay of the body generated by evil spirits that inhabit thecrossing mountains and under large trees orchards aban-doned ponds streams cemeteries places where they havebeen burials fact of valuables and so forth [46]

Overall 73 different therapeutic uses for the cited plantshave been recorded including their use aswoundhealing aids(14) for ldquomal airerdquo (10) for diarrhea (9) as nourishment (9)for kidney and bladder affections (8) for fever (8) and forrheumatism (7) All of these are indicated in Figure 3

An aqueous infusion is the most generalized form ofadministration decoctions direct consumption and topicalapplications are also commonThe leaves (50) are the plantparts more frequently selected followed by the stem (12)fruits (16) and barks (10)

4 Conclusions

The use of plants for treating diseases keeps being necessaryto indigenous populations in emerging countries which dueto high costs have a difficult access to western medicinesand therefore use to rely on their own traditional remediesOn the other hand the integrated forms of modern and

traditional medicines are often practiced by many physiciansnowadays Morona-Santiago the Ecuadorian province wherethe Kutuku Scientific Station is located owns a high plantbiodiversity and a rich ethnobotanical tradition based on itThis has given origin to a popular medicine comprising theuse ofmore than 100 local plants which have been botanicallyidentified The illnesses cured with the plants are of coursestrictly related with the health situation of local commu-nities Wound healing aids renal and stomach infectionsheadaches and colds are the most common ailments whichnatural resources are used for Nonetheless less frequentdiseases such as cancer diabetes andmalaria are also treatedwith different plant extracts

On these days the preservation of traditional knowledgeis threatened by a great amount of external factors related tothe ldquomodernizationrdquo of the region It is therefore urgent tosave the cultural patrimony of the indigenous populationsby confirming the therapeutic use of plants with scientificcriteria and by encouraging the phytochemical research ofthe species containing potential active principles of inter-est

Within this context more studies on the use of medicinalplants by the indigenous communities nearby the KutukuScientific Station are being carried out by our investigationgroups in which scientists technicians and students areinvolved assessing the biological activity of the regionrsquos mostpromising plants

2 Methodology

The research herein was performed between August andDecember of 2013 within the area of the Kutuku BiologicalStation belonging to Universidad Politecnica Salesiana delEcuador (2∘18101584039110158401015840S 78∘06101584011610158401015840W) with 800ndash1200m aslThe territory of the station covers 250 hectares and is locatedwithin the Kutuku-Shaimi Protected Forest (BPKS) in thecenter of Ecuadorrsquos eastern region east of the city ofMacas inthe parish of SevillaDonBosco province ofMorona-Santiago(Figure 1)

Within the area of the scientific station big forest exten-sions of the evergreen humid type really difficult to accessstill persist in the low montane montane and high montanebelts [17] The month average temperature ranges between16 and 27∘C and the total annual precipitation is 3021mmapproximately [18] Close to the territory of the scientificstation where this study was carried out about 7 indigenouscommunities can be found all of these belong to the ethnicgroup ldquoShuarrdquo (Table 1)

For this investigation a qualitative ethnobotanical meth-od was carried out [20] in which mostly adult persons havebeen contacted who live within the area under study andknow the use of medicinal plants One hundred and sixtyinhabitants of the seven communities were interviewed Allrespondents were farmers or elderly belonging to the ldquoShuarrdquoethnicity or their descendants

The collected data were processed and the results areexpressed in a list of medicinal plants with scientific namesfamilies collection point used parts form of preparationtraditional uses and distribution (Table 2)The plant sampleswere processed and identified at the Ecuadorian NationalHerbarium (QCNE) They were deposited with their respec-tive code at the Herbarium of the Universidad PolitecnicaSalesiana in the city of Quito Ecuador The botanic nomen-clature was registered according to the Catalog of VascularPlants of Ecuador [6] A contact was established with theShuar community through their authorized representativeswith the possibility of performing more precise studies inthe future for the recovery protection and sustainable use oftheir traditional knowledge

3 Result and Discussion

The ethnobotanical study performed in this work gave us areal panorama about the natural remedies used by the inhab-itants in the territory of the Kutuku Scientific Station of theMorona canton of the province of Morona-Santiago south ofEcuadorThis researchwas realizedwith ldquoShuarrdquo communitywhich is very different from the ldquoAchuarrdquo community cited inthe article by Giovannini [21] even the geographical locationand the altitude are different

One hundred thirty-one different plants have been iden-tified which manymedicinal properties have been attributedto their uses and forms of therapeutic usage also have beenrecorded From the total number of plants 107 are native 9are grown traditionally 9 are endemic and 6 are cultivated[6]
