Plants in Folk medicine in the territory of Perdasdefogu (Central Sardinia, Italy)
No full textIn this study the Authors present the results of an ethnopharmacobotanical investigation in the territory of Perdasdefogu (central Sardinia). The vegetable species used in fork medicine are 58, 7 of which have not yet been reported as curative. The main uses involve skin (18% of the reports) and kidney diseases (13.7%)
Le piante medicinali utilizzate nella medicina popolare del territorio di perdasdefogu (NU)
No full textIndagine etnofarmacobotanica del territorio di Arzana (Sardegna orientale)
No full textIl territorio di Arzana è caratterizzato da una cultura popolare autoctona fortemente legata all'economia pastorale e ad un contesto sociale cresciuto da un antico isolazionismo. Sono stati intervistati sugli usi medicinali tradizionali 116 soggetti, seguendo i rigorosi criteri dell'indagine quantitativa etnofarmacobotanica. E' emerso che la fitoterapia di Arzana è basata su 57 specie vegetali di cui 2 naturalizzate e 3 endemiche. L'analisi degli usi terapeutici ha posto l'accento su tossi catarrali e affezioni respiratorie di blanda entità (raffreddori) (13.6%), disturbi cutanei (11.7%), isturbi digestivi (10.1%) ed intestinali (9.7%). I dati quantitativi hanno evidenziato una fitoterapia sostanzialmente basata sull'uso estemporaneo delle fonti vegetali. Questi dati sono il riflesso di una flora particolarmente ricca, anche di endemismi, che determina un importante ricorso alle terapie mediche popolari, che tuttavia risentono dell'ingerenza sempre più pressante dei media informativi che stimolano al ricorso di rimedi più tecnologici a scapito dei tradizionali

OXYGENATED SESQUITERPENOIDS FROM A NONPOISONOUS SARDINIAN CHEMOTYPE OF GIANT FENNEL (FERULA COMMUNIS)
No full textInternal secretory structures and preliminary investigation and flavonoid and coumarin content in Santolina insularis (Asteraceae)
No full textUV light investigation has shown that vegetative and flowering plants of Santolina insularis have internal secretory structures similar to those of many other Asteraceae. In the root two arrays of ducts arise abutting the endodermis, while in the stem single or unconnected pairs of ducts are localized between the vascular bundles. The leaves and bracts present ducts vein-associated. A preliminary phytochemical investigation employing HPTLC evidenced the presence of some fluorescent flavonoids and coumarins. The fluorescence of the secretion and the presence of fluorescent metabolites in the plant organs, lead to assume that the secretory system is involved in producing and/or storing the secondary metabolites which justify the use of this species in Sardinian traditional medicine.UV light investigation has shown that vegetative and flowering plants of Santolina insularis (FIORI) ARRIG. have internal secretory structures similar to those of many other Asteraceae.

Comparison between the essential oils of Santolina insularis (Genn. ex Fiori) Arrigoni and Santolina corsica Jord. et Fourr. from the island of Sardinia (Italy)
No full textA comparative study of the essential oils of Santolina insularis and Santolina corsica has been carried out. The two specimens are found in Sardinia and were indiscriminately used in traditional medicine on the island. The essential oil was extracted by steam distillation of fresh aerial parts and analysed by GC, GC-MS and GC-FTIR. The analysis of the essential oils shows substantial qualitative and quantitative differences. Some of the components identified were present in both investigated species, others were characteristic of one species only
