Outline
To systematically investigate the folk cognition, application methods, and resource situation of Artemisia verlotiorum Lamotte in the Luofu Mountain area, Guangdong Province.
A combination of literature research and ethnobotanical investigation was adopted.
Artemisia verlotiorum Lamotte has extremely high folk cognition locally (96.00% among residents, 100.00% among medical staff). Its applications span multiple areas of folk custom and healthcare: residents commonly use it to make making Ai cakes (88.00%), foot baths (52.00%), and postpartum bathing (48.00%), reflecting profound dietary and health-preserving traditions. Medical staff widely apply it to treat gynecological conditions (e.g., dysmenorrhea 58.93%, uterine cold 41.07%), internal diseases (stomach cold 35.71%), and rheumatic diseases (32.14%), reflecting characteristics of syndrome differentiation and treatment based on traditional Chinese medicine theory. The survey also found a high prevalence of Artemisia verlotiorum Lamotte cultivation (88.00%), including large-scale planting. Through the survey of medical workers, it was found that although this traditional knowledge faces the challenge of inheritor faultage (98.18% of them lack inheritors), most medical workers (72.73%) still have a strong willingness to organize and preserve this experiential knowledge.
Artemisia verlotiorum Lamotte integrates folk identity with practical medicinal utility. Future efforts should focus on its resource protection, sustainable utilization, and the effective inheritance of related traditional medical knowledge.
