The Naxi of Northwest Yunnan, China use medicinal plants to treat skin conditions related to traditional
lifestyles in extreme environments. However, modernization endangers both the medicinal plants used
to treat skin conditions and traditional knowledge. Therefore, investigation and documentation of the
medicinal plants used and associated traditional knowledge is necessary. In this study, we conducted an
ethnobotanical survey in 12 Naxi communities in Northwest Yunnan. For this purpose, we used semistructured surveys to interview 840 informants from Naxi communities. We used informant
consensus factor and use frequency as quantitative indices to evaluate the importance of medicinal plant
species. A total of 161 medicinal plant species belonging to 69 families were documented. The highest
informant consensus factor (ICF) values were recorded for skin nourishing (ICF ¼ 0.849), frostbite and
chapped skin (ICF ¼ 0.833). These skin treatments are highly related to the environment and lifestyle of
Naxi communities. The main active compounds of plants used to treat skin conditions in Naxi communities are known to have skin-treating properties. This study reveals that the skin conditions treated
by the Naxi are associated with traditional medicine culture and social economic development. In
addition, this study uses ethnobotanical indices to explain how skin condition treatments are linked to
the natural environment of Naxi communities.
