Figure 5From: Traditions and plant use during pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum recovery by the Kry ethnic group in Lao PDRSimilarity in postpartum plant use in the Nam Noi and Nam Pheo watersheds. Similarity is plotted using non-metric multidimensional scaling (Kruskal Stress 0.111). Data combines the in-depth study of Kry childbirth plant use with Brou, Saek and Kry postpartum data [15]. Distances between points are relative similarities. Points represent individual village datasets, and for 'Kry' the overall postpartum-used plants from this study. Icons represent: Brou (Diamond), Saek (Square), and Kry (Triangle). Clustering of ethnic groups is evident.Back to article page
