摘要
The use of medicinal plants in areas of Mayan culture, such as Guatemala, has been significant since ancient times. The first work on traditional medicine was written in Nahuatl in 1552, and mentioned the use of 251 plants. The flora of Guatemala is very rich in medicinal plants, though many of them have not been scientifically studied. Today, many habitants of rural areas of Guatemala depend greatly on the use of medicinal plants to treat diseases and discomforts. This paper describes 10 common species of medicinal plants with hypoglycemic effects.
