VARGAS BATIS, Belyani et al. Medicinal potentials of the weed flora in suburban farms of Santiago de Cuba. Ctro. Agr. [online]. 2019, vol.46, n.1, pp. 54-57. ISSN 0253-5785.
The objective of the work was to identify the medicinal potential of the existing weed flora in suburban farms of Santiago de Cuba taking into account the perception of the inhabitants of the communities near these productive systems. The study area was divided into four geographical zones according to the layout of the farms. An ethnobotanical study was carried out grouping the answers according to consensus among the informants. To some extent, 59 of the weed species are used as medicinal. Roots and leaves are the most commonly used (decoction) organs, attributing anti-inflammatory, antiparasitic and anticatarral effects.
