What is Medicinal Plant Market Changes in Bolivia about?

This document summarizes a study of medicinal plants sold in markets in La Paz and El Alto, Bolivia between 2013 and 2015. The study found 163 plant species from 127 genera and 58 families being sold, more than previous studies. While the categories of illnesses treated were similar to older reports, this study found many more species being used to treat each illness and more illnesses being treated by each species. This suggests the local pharmacopoeia has incorporated many new species in the last decade.
