ACTUAL STATE OF HEALING RESOURCES OF THE KAMCHATKA PENINSULA AND THE PROSPECTS OF THEIR USE
Abstract
Kamchatka is a unique region with a wide variety of natural healing resources. The most famous mineral thermal springs are located in the Central Kamchatka hydrogeological massif of folded areas. As a result of the survey 40 species of officinal plants (3% of the native flora of vascular plants of Kamchatka) have been identified. These species are included in the pharmacopoeia state list. Among them 21 species belong to native flora of the peninsula and 19 species are adventitious. The large number of officinal plants grows in communities of Southern and Central floristic regions. An analysis of created regional database for healing water springs and officinal plants has shown that resources of the Kamchatka Peninsula are of high therapeutic potential, but at present they have not been sufficiently studied for full and sustainable use in official medicine.
