Consult your health provider first.  \nIntroduction  \nz Mexico has a rich tradition of herbal use that predates the European conquest by many centuries  \nz Mexico's medicinal herbal repertoire is one of the world’s most diverse and contains various native plants, as well as many other species introduced from diverse parts of the globe  \nz Approximately 3,000 to 5,000 plants (both native and introduced) are currently used medicinally by 52 different ethnicities throughout the country  \nMedicinal Plants in Mexico  \nz The Aztec civilization of Mexico was the only one in the New World to record the use of medicinal herbs  \nz They did so in “codices” or catalogues that showed drawings of the plants  \nCourtesy of México Desconocido magazine  \nCodices containing information about Aztec medicinal plants were considered “heretical”, and burned by Spanish missionaries  \nCodices  \nz A few missionaries had the vision of recuperating at least a small portion of this knowledge and reconstructing two codices  \nz One was written, both in Latin and Náhuatl (the Aztec language) and known as the De La CruzBadiano Codex  \nz It became the first bilingual publication of the New World (1552)  \nCourtesy of México Desconocido magazine  \nCodices  \nz These codices were taken to Italy and forgotten for more than 300 years  \nz They were “rediscovered”until the twentieth century  \nz Some of the plants picturedin the codices are still used in the same way today. Courtesy of México Desconocido magazine  \nMéxico’s great biodiversity  \nz Mexico's rugged landscape includes a great diversity of plants, animals and fungi  \nz Unfortunately, very few Mexican plants have ever been studied in detail regarding their medicinal potential  \nz Deforestation, ill-planned urban expansion, uncontrolled livestock grazing, and desertification are currently threatening Mexico's natural resources, including the survival of various medicinal plants  \nMexico has a rich diversity of medicinal plants  \nMap courtesy of México Desconocido magazine","cbCaidf5siNn6AOb","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidf5siNn6AOb","pdf",14418411,180,"English","# Introduction\n## Medicinal Plants in Mexico\n## Codices\n## México’s great biodiversity\n## Mexico has a rich diversity of medicinal plants","[{\"question\":\"What is the document’s purpose regarding Mexican medicinal plants?\",\"answer\":\"It compiles herbal use within Mexican Traditional Medicine while explicitly stating it is not intended to promote any plant for therapeutic use.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the document describe the historical sources of Aztec medicinal knowledge?\",\"answer\":\"It notes that the Aztecs recorded medicinal herbs in codices with drawings of plants, and that some codices were later considered heretical and burned, followed by reconstruction efforts by certain missionaries.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the document include strong safety warnings?\",\"answer\":\"It emphasizes that very few listed plants have been studied in depth, so efficacy and possible side effects are not well known, and it advises against self-medication and to consult health providers first.\"}]","Plants Used in Mexican Traditional Medicine - Their Application and Effects In Traditional Healing Practices | PDF",1789771480,454]
