Abstract

Objective: Different types of skin diseases negatively affect the lives of many people, both physically and mentally. Here, we aimed to document medicinal plants used as traditional folk medicine for the treatment of eczema, psoriasis and vitiligo in Turkey. Material and Method: Literature search was conducted by screening ethnobotanical studies. Moreover, pharmacological and phytochemical studies were reviewed to assess the efficacy of the most commonly used plants on skin diseases. Result and Discussion: In total, 191 taxa belonging to 134 genera and 64 families were determined as being traditional herbal medicines used in defined skin diseases. Based on their number of citations, the most frequently used medicinal plant species are Juglans regia L. (19), Urtica dioica L. (18), Juniperus oxycedrus L. (9), Chelidonium majus L. (8), Dracunculus vulgaris Schott (7), Ecballium elaterium (L.) A. Rich. (6), Ficus carica L. (6), Malva sylvestris L. (6) and Rosa canina L. (6), respectively. It is concluded that several pharmacological and phytochemical studies support the traditional usage of plants, but further studies are needed. All findings are expected to be the basis for novel pharmaceutical products and a handbook for healthcare professionals.

Özet

Amaç: Farklı tipteki cilt hastalıkları birçok insanın yaşamını hem fiziksel hem de ruhsal olarak olumsuz yönde etkiler. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye'de egzama, sedef hastalığı ve vitiligo tedavisinde geleneksel halk ilacı olarak kullanılan tıbbi bitkilerin derlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Etnobotanik çalışmalar taranarak literatür araştırması yapılmıştır. Bununla birlikte, en sık kullanılan bitkilerin cilt hastalıkları üzerindeki etkinliğini değerlendirmek amacıyla farmakolojik ve fitokimyasal çalışmalar incelenmiştir. Sonuç ve Tartışma: Toplamda 134 cins ve 64 familyaya ait 191 taksonun geleneksel bitkisel ilaçlar olarak egzama, sedef hastalığı ve vitiligo tedavisinde kullanıldığı saptanmıştır. Aldıkları atıf sayısına göre en sık kullanılan tıbbi bitki türleri sırasıyla Juglans regia L. (19), Urtica dioica L. (18), Juniperus oxycedrus L. (9), Chelidonium majus L. (8), Dracunculus vulgaris Schott (7), Ecballium elaterium (L.) A. Rich. (6), Ficus carica L. (6), Malva sylvestris L. (6) ve Rosa canina L. (6) olarak belirlenmiştir. Birçok farmakolojik ve fitokimyasal çalışmanın bitkilerin geleneksel kullanımını desteklediği, ancak daha fazla çalışmaya ihtiyaç duyulduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Tüm bulguların yeni farmasötik ürünler için temel oluşturması ve sağlık çalışanları için bir başvuru kitabı olması beklenmektedir.
