The interactions between plants and people are a fascinating and rich area of study. There is no single methodology for their study: the methodologies of ecology, anthropology, botany, biochemistry, medicine, linguistics and archaeology are all valuable. Undergraduate training in any of these can form a good basis for further training in or around ethnobotany. Specialist training is unusual at undergraduate level, except in the case of herbal medicine. At postgraduate level there are now excellent opportunities for specialist training in various aspects of ethnobotany, including: Ethnobotany programmes Still few in number, but increasingly popular. Ethnobotany modules Embedded within broader degrees, often at undergraduate level. These are included in the list if the web pages include substantial information about the module.

    Extractions: Ethnobotany is the systematic study of the relationships between plants and people . It is not simply the study of the human "use" of plants; rather, ethnobotany locates plants within their cultural context in particular societies, and situates peoples within their ecological contexts. Ethnobotanists examine: This inquiry ranges from the geopolitical impact of the European demand for spices (which helped to launch the Age of Exploration) to the role of hallucinogenic snuffs used by Amazonian shamans in religious rituals. Attributes such as creativity , reason, and curiosity, coupled with a desire to benefit others—attributes common in the scientific community—aids those studying ethnobotany to make important contributions. For example, the study of indigenous food production and local medicinal knowledge offers the promise of practical implications for developing sustainable agriculture and discovering new medicines.

    Extractions: var base_url = "http://www.lotsofessays.com/"; Ethnobotany, the study of how native peoples use plants, is a complex mixture of sociology, anthropology, botany, economics, ecology, and medicine (9). Most modern medicines are derivatives of, or synthetic forms of, chemical compounds found naturally in plants. Twenty-five to 40 percent of prescriptions in the U. S. use compounds which are derived from plants, and the World Health Organization estimates that 80 percent of the earth's population use plants for primary medical care (1,9). Of the more than 250,000 known plant species, only about 5,000 have been examined chemically for medicinal properties. This paper will look at some of the work being done by researchers to prove the effectiveness of natural remedies for bacterial and fungal infections, and on diseases such as cancer. In the early 16th century, European explorers brought the dried bark of the cinchona tree back from South America, reporting its use by natives to cure fever (4). This resulted in the discovery of quinine, once of the most potent drugs against malaria. Viskin, which is used to treat a heart condition, was synthesized based on extracts from hallucinogenic mushrooms, and in many places in South East Asia , a certain caterpillar is used to treat a variety of diseases, and it has been shown to be particularly potent against malaria (4). Penicillin was derived from bread mold, morphine and opium (strong pain killers) come from the poppy flower, aspirin is related to a chemical from the bark of

    ethnobotany is the study of the relationship between cultures and plants. This condensed list of western Washington plants was created by Scott ClayPoole, PhD.  
    http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/Environment/CulRes/ethnobotony.htm
    
    Extractions: None of the plants listed are recommended for use . But if plant material is utilized in some way by the viewer that individual species must be accurately identified by an expert and then used with caution. Various chemicals found within these plants can be metabolized differently by various individuals, some with adverse side effects. When planning to ingest or use topically, it is always advisable to test with a small amount of any new plant first. A common additive to many of the foods listed herein as a preservative and seasoning is the rendered oil from the Eulachon (or Oolichan), the Candlefish. Raw and cooked berries, green sprouts, and cooked roots are often dipped in this oil, referred to as "grease". Sometimes it is mixed right into the food; some fruits are stored in it.
