PLANTS USED IN TRADITIONAL TREATMENT AGAINST ANEMIA IN TURKEY

Abstract

Anemia is a blood disease which is considered as the reduction of the total number of red blood cells in blood or decrease of their number according to blood volume (hemotocrit) or decrease of their total hemoglobin content (the hemoglobin concentration in the blood ) and can be fairly seen in all countries. It may occur itself or can be the indicative or a symptom of an other underlying disease (1). Anemia may occur because of, chronic blood loss, bone marrow disorders, increased hemolysis, infection, malignancy, endocrine disorders and some other diseases. Many drugs can lead to anemia by causing toxic effect on blood cells, hemoglobin production or erythropoietic organs. Anemia may also occur by the inadequate intake of substances which are  necessary for erythropoiesis such as iron, folic acid and vitamin B12 with diet (2). Turkey has many plants used by public for the treatment of various diseases. The usage of these folk medicine which is prepared by these plants  has been transferred from generation to generation. Ethnobotanical studies carried out by traditional methods of treatment are recorded and this information is aimed to contribute to the development of the drug. Prepared with the screening of ethnobotanical research, in this study, it has been reached to 77 taxa that is used in traditional treatment against anemia in Turkey and aimed to give information about scientific and local names of these taxa, families, used parts and usage in anemia (Table 1).
