| description | This ethnomedical survey was conducted in Kampung Batu Ring, part of the
small villages included in Kampung Beng, a village commercialized and well
known as one of the Homestay villages established in Lenggong District,
Hulu Perak. The documentation focuses on the diversity of medicinal plants,
its use and dependency of people in Kampung Batu Ring on herbal remedies.
The richness of the biodiversity and cultural heritage of Kampung Batu Ring
makes it more attractive as a potential traditional village to be
commercialized in the tourism aspect. Geographically, it is located in the
Piah Reserve Forest valley and mountains in the mid of Banjaran
Titiwangsa. Data was obtained from the villagers of fifty most common wild
plant species used in daily life in terms of cooking and healthcare. Most of
the herbs used are harvested from the forests and being planted around their
homeland. The remedies are used internally and externally for treating
various ailments from common stomach ache to severe high blood pressure
and diabetes. There are several species being consumed as salads especially
those which are renown for anti-aging purposes. The practices on the
utilization and consumption of these plants in the daily life of the villagers
are traditionally transmitted from their great ancestors. Thus, these plant
benefits are found to be well known amongst the elderly. |
