“…Algo destacable en el elenco de plantas protectoras mencionadas en este trabajo, es que a diferencia del registro realizado para la ruda en España (San Miguel 2003, Vidal-González & Sánchez-Padilla 2015, las plantas aquí citadas no se encontraron secas en ninguno de los casos y tampoco se refirió a la simbología de la cruz para fundamentar su utilidad. Como fuera mencionado por Furlan (2017) es en su vitalidad que se basa el poder diagnóstico de la planta.…”

Los sistemasagroforestales familiares reflejan las especies vegetales de importancia (SAF) para quienes los manejan. Cada especie, se mantiene en el lugar gracias a un saber situado, culturalmente adscripto, una historia y un momento particular. El objetivo de este trabajo es identificar las plantas para la protección del hogar, así como su significado y función dentro de las relaciones intracomunitarias en un entorno urbano del Bosque Atlántico y uno rural en los Humedales del Iberá, en el Nordeste Argentino.

“…Ruta chalepensis is a Mediterranean plant, native to dry, sunny environments, and has been used for medicinal purposes since ancient times as an antirheumatic, an antispasmodic, an aphrodisiac, and a treatment for snakebites, headaches, and wounds [2,3,4]. Pharmacological evaluations of R. chalepensis established its effects as an analgesic, anthelmintic [5], anticancer [6,7], antiacetylcholinesterase [8], anti-inflammatory [5], anticonvulsant and sedative [9], antimicrobial, antioxidant [10,11], antiparasitic, menstrual disorders [12], abortive and antirheumatic activity [13], it is also useful in perfumery [14].…”

N addition to a phytochemical screening of the essential oil of Ruta chalpensis aerial parts, this study aimed to discover its eco-friendly acaricidal activity against the cattle tick Rhipicephalus annulatus (Acari: Ixodidae). The essential oil obtained by hydro-distillation from fresh R. chalepensis aerial parts was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Acaricidal activity was evaluated against Rhipicephalus annulatus ticks by using an adult immersion test. A total of 33 compounds were identified that represented 99.58% of the oil composition. The main constituents of the oils were 2-Nonanone (27.76%), 2-Undecanone (27.12%), 2-Heptyl acetate (10.79%), 2-Acetoxytridecane (4.24%), 5,6-diethenyl-1-methyl-Cyclohexene (3.31%), Davanone (2.87%) and 2-Decanone (2.41%). The results revealed the presence of a high percentage of the two main classes ketones (64.33%) and Esters (19.93%) with a low quantity of various terpenoid classes. The essential oil revealed strong acaricidal activity against semi-engorged females of R. annulatus ticks recording LC 50 : 1.9% and LC 90 : 10.3% on the 1 st day post-treatment.

The present survey includes forty-three plant species with present-day medicinal applications that can be related to the Doctrine of Signatures (DoS). The main uses are for jaundice (33.3%), kidney stones (20%), and as an aphrodisiac (8%). Ten Doctrine of Signature uses (22.2%) are endemic (to Israel and Jordan); while none of these plant species are endemic to the region at all, their DoS uses are endemic. Summing up of all these data reveals that 73.2% of all uses found in present-day Israel could be considered as related to Muslim traditional medicine. About one quarter (24.4%) of the DoS uses are also common to Europe, and some (8.8%) to India. The two adventive species with DoS uses serve as evidence that the DoS practice is not necessarily based solely on its historical background but is still evolving locally in accordance with changes in the local flora. The current broad geographic distribution of many of the doctrine’s uses may serve as indirect evidence of its current prevalence, and not just as a vestigial presentation of ancient beliefs.
