dc.description.abstractThis report shows results of scientific testing in support of healers’ requests for scientific validation of their traditional medicine. The study evaluated ethnobotanical selected products for inflammatory conditions, since the Kekchi healers have considerable expertise in this area and it is also considered an appropriate area for self-medication by regulatory authorities. As well, a broad search of other agents including topical anti-infective agents, such as products used for minor fungal or bacterial infections was undertaken. Quantitative ethnobotany was used to select key medicinal plants with the healers for validation of medicinal activity at the University of Ottawa Medicinal Plant laboratory.en
