Ethnobotanical Study of the Medicinal Plant Known by Dayak People in Paser, East Kalimantan

Traditional medication is the source of modern medication development. Invention of new drugs often comes from the knowledge of traditional medication used by some ethnic groups. The aim of this study was to document the medicinal plants and their use for traditional medication by the people of Dayak tribe at Kabupaten Paser, East Kalimantan, Indonesia. The method used in this research was by observing and collecting data particularly on the medicinal plant species, location where the plants were obtained and the usage. Specimens of plants were also collected from the growing sites with the help of key informants for identification purpose. 107 species of plants were reported to be used by local people of Dayak Paser as medicines. The plants were obtained from the forest. Stomachache and itchiness are the common diseases that can be treated with medicinal plants. Dayak Paser people used root, leaves, shoot, or bark of the plants. The most common part of plants that can be used as medicine is the root. Dayak paser people process the plant by boiling the plants in water, smear the resin on the body parts that injured, or just eat the plant raw. This research indicated that some of plants in the forest are potentially to be used as a medicine and local people can integrate the culture of using plant medicine with the conservation effort of local biodiversity.
