 This study provides valuable insight into the traditional medicinal practices of the Shuei people in Sandu County, Guizhou Province. It documents the use of 505 plant species by 15 local healers and 132 other informants and identifies 85 different diseases treated by these plants. The most frequently used medicinal plants include Isidin amethystoids, Asuramin sygne, and Acorus tartarinoi. The author suggests that further research should be done to explore the potential applications of these plants in the development of functional foods or pharmaceutical products. Additionally, they note that the rapid economic growth in the region has resulted in fewer young people pursuing traditional medicinal studies and recommend initiatives and policies to preserve and promote Shuei medicinal knowledge.
