History of TRAMIL

NOTE ON METHODOLOGY OF THE TRAMIL SURVEYS
 

The originality of the TRAMIL analysis system does not rest only on the qualitative, but also on the quantitative approach to the current popular use of medicinal plants in the different countries of the Caribbean. The primary tool of the analysis is participative ethnopharmacological survey. Its starting point is not in the plants but in the health symptoms or problems, and in the perception of these symptoms by targeted groups.
