Medicinal and edible plants of the Asháninka people in the Rio Tambo District (Selva Central, Peru)
Keywords:
Ethnobotany, Traditional Ecological Knowledge, Medicinal Plants, Indigenous societies, Ashaninka, Peruvian AmazoniaSynopsis
The book is the result of cooperation between the Asháninka indigenous society living in native communities (Span. comunidades nativas) along the Tambo River (Dep. Junín) in the Upper Peruvian Amazonia, the Asháninka Association Tspiana Jampi and researchers from the University of Lodz, the Ethnographic Museum in Krakow and the Museo de Historia Natural at the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos in Lima. From 2016 to 2022, we documented the traditional knowledge of the Asháninka people about medicinal and edible plants grown in their home gardens, on agricultural plots and harvested from the wild in the forest. During our stays in the field, we collected over 400 herbarium specimens, which were deposited in the herbarium of the Museo de Historia Natural in Lima, thanks to which we identified nearly 250 botanical species used by the Asháninka. The book is organized by the names of plants in the Asháninka language, accompanied by botanical names, photographs of plants, their short botanical and ecological description and their use in traditional medicine and in the local diet. Moreover, in the last part we introduced all the collaborators (nearly 150 people) with whom we cooperated and whose knowledge was documented in this book.
