Recursos herbarios, Medicina alternativa, Conocimiento herbarioResumen
El uso de recursos herbarios medicinales ha persistido en diversas culturas, aprovechando posibles bioactividades. A pesar de los medicamentos comerciales disponibles, las poblaciones, incluyendo México, siguen usando hierbas en cuidados de salud. Este estudio en Hermosillo, ciudad del noroeste de México, explora la prevalencia y uso de medicina herbaria. Se realizó un estudio transversal de mayo a septiembre de 2023, encuestando a 441 residentes mediante cuestionarios estructurados. Se evaluaron características demográficas, conocimiento y experiencias con medicina herbaria. La mayoría de los participantes fueron mujeres (68.56 %), menores de 30 años (67.12 %) y residentes urbanos (90.82 %). La familia fue la principal fuente de conocimientos sobre fitoterapia (73.7 %), destacando la continuidad cultural. El 93 % de los participantes utilizaron hierbas medicinales cuando lo consideraron necesario, y el 56.9 % informó éxito parcial. A pesar de las reservas sobre su seguridad (41.6 %), el uso simultáneo con tratamientos convencionales fue común (48.1 %). El estudio subraya la conexión cultural entre medicina herbaria y familias mexicanas. Son necesarias campañas de sensibilización fomentando el uso responsable de medicinas herbarias, especialmente en grupos vulnerables. Los hallazgos comparten una comprensión más amplia de tendencias y prácticas de la medicina herbaria, enfatizando las perspectivas locales.
