Ethnobotanicals What are Ethnobotanicals?

Negentropic said:
Traditional Chinese medicine, ayurvedic medicine, Native American plant medicine, stuff like that

Plants that cultures have traditionally used throughout history

Ayahuasca would be considered ethnobotany

What about guifenissen? I believe Native Americans used it from the bark of trees, and I it doesn't come up in the target predictor btw cause I've been trying to find out what receptors it acts on for a while now! I'm pretty sure it may bind to GABA tho honestly and may even be a NDMAR antagonist.

The bark itself would be ethnobotany, but not pharma guaf. It's more about the plants themselves and not modern medicine based on them.

I guess, I'm no expert /shrug
 
Yes ethnobotanicals are essentially psychoactive plants. Cannabis, mushrooms, ayahuasca, coca leaf, opium poppy. Often times though the term is used more with psychedelic plants.
