- W1224261200 abstract "The Chakmas are the largest tribe inhabiting the forested hilly regions in the Chittagong Hill Tracts, which lies in the southeastern part of Bangladesh. Although they are scattered in all four districts of the Chittagong Hill Tracts, they are mostly concentrated in the districts of Rangamati and Khagrachari. The tribal population is currently estimated at around 300,000. The Chakmas are distinguished by having their own language with alphabets and their own distinctive culture, which includes their own rituals and own tribal medicinal practitioners. More than 30 clans (which are further sub-divided into over 50 sects) exist within the tribe. It was the objective of the present study to conduct an ethnomedicinal survey among the tribal medicinal practitioners of Baburo, Haduga, and Larma clans of the Chakma tribe inhabiting the Rangamati district of Bangladesh as to their traditional formulations for treatment of various ailments. The survey was conducted with the help of a semi-structured questionnaire and the guided field-walk method. One practitioner from each clan was interviewed. It was observed that the three tribal practitioners, among themselves, used a total of 73 plants distributed into 42 families for treatment of ailments. The Rubiaceae family contributed 7 plants followed by the Apocynaceae, Euphorbiaceae and Lamiaceae families with four plants each. Leaves constituted the major plant part used, forming 60.2% of total uses. Leaves were followed by barks, roots, fruits and stems, which respectively, formed 12.9, 8.6, 7.5 and 5.4% of total uses. Respiratory disorders (coughs, mucus), skin diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, hemorrhoids, fever, eye disorders, urinary tract disorders, helminthiasis, stomach and kidney stones, paralysis, pain, rheumatism and jaundice were ailments treated by the tribal medicinal practitioners. However, the practitioners also recognized and claimed to treat successfully diseases like diabetes, cancer, and hypertension. Diabetes was treated with 9 different plants and hypertension with 5 different plants. The practitioners treated two types of cancer, namely skin cancer and throat cancer. Chittagong Hill Tracts is widely known for the existence of a diverse variety of medicinal plants, most of which are yet to be studied scientifically. It is expected that the present survey can provide insights into the ancient medicinal practices of the Chakma tribe, which in turn can lead to successful discoveries of efficacious medicines against difficult to cure diseases like cancer, hypertension, diabetes, and rheumatism." @default.
