TELLO-CERON, Gladys; FLORES PIMENTEL, Mercedes y GOMEZ GALARZA, Vilma. Use of medicinal plants from the district of Quero, Jauja, Junín Region, Peru. Ecol. apl. [online]. 2019, vol.18, n.1, pp.11-20. ISSN 1726-2216. http://dx.doi.org/10.21704/rea.v18i1.1301.
An ethnobotanical study was carried out in the community of Quero, located in the District of Molinos, Province of Jauja, Junin Region, Peru. This research was aimed in documenting the use of ancestral practices regarding the use of medicinal plants. A total of 62 species grouped into 47 genera and 28 families were found. The families with the highest number of used medicinal species were Asteraceae, Geraniaceae and Urticaceae. According to their use, the species were grouped into 12 disease categories and 37 sub-categories, being traumatism, respiratory diseases, undefined ailments (fright, cholerine, etc.) and digestive disorders the most recurrent. The entire plant is commonly used, but leaves and flowers are also used separately.
