The majority of the country's mountain ranges run roughly north to south, creating a diverse topography. Three mountain ranges cross Luzon, and two cross Mindanao, where Mt. Apo the country's most noteworthy pinnacle ascends to 2954m. The islands are for the most part limited by tight seaside fields, particularly in Locale III or Focal Luzon, which contains the country's biggest plain [7-9]. There are 421 major rivers and 216 lakes in the country's extensive and complex inland waterways. One of the countries with the greatest biological diversity in the world is made possible by the country's geographical location. In this review, ethnobotanical studies with records of restorative plants utilized for gynecologic consideration were directed at locales in the Philippines, containing out of the areas of the Philippines. Most examinations were led in Mindanao, trailed by Luzon and Visayas. With nine records of various medicinal plant species used for gynecologic diseases, the Northern Mindanao region had the most published ethnobotanical studies. This district is home to the Maranaos, Subanens, Higaonons, and Talaandig clans. Four investigations were directed on the Aetas and local people of Focal Luzon. Essentially, four investigations refered to the Manobos, the Mamamanwas, and local people of Caraga. These mountainous regions became ideal for ethnobotanical research because they are home to indigenous people and contain a variety of medicinal plants.
Results and Discussions
The significance of plant physiology extends far beyond the scientific realm, touching upon critical global challenges. As we grapple with the imperative to feed a burgeoning population, combat climate change, and safeguard biodiversity, the knowledge gleaned from plant physiology takes on unprecedented importance. It serves as the cornerstone of sustainable agriculture, informing strategies to optimize crop yields while minimizing environmental impact. Furthermore, plant physiology illuminates nature's resilience in the face of adversity. From drought-tolerant succulents to alpine plants braving harsh climates, the adaptations observed in plants inspire awe and provide invaluable lessons for resilience in an ever-changing world. This study is the primary efficient survey of restorative plants used to treat gynecologic sicknesses in the Philippines. We recorded records that refer to restorative plants' utilization to treat gynecologic infections. The most frequently treated gynecologic conditions with medicinal plants were dysmenorrhea and irregular menstruation. The majority of this systematic review's studies. These sloping districts are great for ethnobotanical overviews since they are home to native individuals and contain different plants utilized as conventional medication. Most of the time, these areas are disadvantaged and geographically isolated. As a result, individuals are unable to physically or financially travel to the closest health facility, making it difficult for them to obtain medication and medical attention. Besides, many individuals couldn't bear to visit facilities and clinics, not to mention purchase medication. Accordingly, individuals much of the time depend on conventional medication for a quick solution for explicit infections and distresses.
This concentrate's most used plant bunches for gynecologic circumstances were Fabaceae, Menispermaceae, Apocynaceae, Asteraceae, and Lamiaceae. The predominance of these plant families in the medicinal plants used for gynecologic care was also reported in a previous study conducted in Southeast Asia by de Boer and Cotingting and in several regions of Asia, Europe, Oceania, Africa, and the United States. Delegate types of the Fabaceae family, otherwise called the peas or vegetables family, from this review, which was presented from South America and is right now broad and naturalized in pieces of Southeast Asia, including the Philippines, Africa, Australia, and the South Pacific Snare. f. & Thomson, a member of the Menispermaceae family, is common in Southeast Asian mixed deciduous forests or primary rainforests, including the Philippines from the Apocynaceae family, was likewise presented and naturalized in the Philippines from Madagascar. Even though some of the plants on the list aren't native, their widespread availability makes them easier to find, which is why they are mostly used for gynecological care [10]. This concentrate additionally announced plant species having a place with the Meliaceae and Lauraceae families. Past examinations didn't report a ton of restorative plants utilized for gynecologic consideration in these families. Then again, Zingiberaceae and Apiaceae were all around addressed in before concentrates on in different nations however underrepresented in our review. Cultural differences, plant diversity, and availability in the studied regions are to blame for this distinction. In order to determine the effectiveness and safety of the Philippine medicinal plants used to treat gynecologic diseases, a pharmacological evaluation is required. Evaluation of the study's quality We utilized a previously developed quality evaluation instrument for ethnobotanical research. This instrument was custom-made for ethnobotanical research and assessed the nature of ethnobotanical research as low,satisfactory, or high. The quality evaluation instrument was made out of ten inquiries that survey the accompanying: the nature of the review targets, the review plan, the fulfillment of the depiction of the review region and populace, subtleties of the strategies that will permit replication of the review, the computation of the example size, the ordered characterization of plants utilized in the review, an adequate clarification of the outcomes, and whether the outcomes support the ends. However, it is essential to note that no risk of bias was assessed in any of the studies. The Philippines is an archipelagic country. There are three main groups in the country: Luzon in the north, Visayas in the middle, and Mindanao in the south. The Visayas are a disjointed group of smaller islands, whereas Luzon and Mindanao are adjacent islands with associated island groups. Judicially, these islands are isolated into districts.
