Full Color Edition] Pohnpei, one of the four island members of the
Federated States of Micronesia in the Caroline Islands, has a
traditional medical system developed over many generations. The
Pohnpei Primary Health Care Manual compiles traditional
ethnomedical information about plants and presents it within the
context of Western medicine. Many common health conditions are
discussed in this book, including those specific to Pohnpeian
culture. Also provided is scientific information about each
species, including efficacy, pharmacology and potential toxicity,
where known. This book is intended as an educational manual for
Pohnpei and the Pacific region, an area where traditional medicine
and some of the plants used in its practice, are endangered
resources. Based on a decade of on-island research and extensive
literature review, the book has been produced by a group of
Pohnpeian and international experts, specialists in ethnomedicine,
clinical care, public health, biology, conservation and Pacific
Island culture.
