“…6,4,[38][39][40] It was also noticed that both men and women were involved in the traditional medicine, however; women were more informed about medicinal species compared to men (52% versus 48%). These findings were concordant with numerous national ethnobotanical studies, reporting women knowledge to be higher than men's herbal medicine (52-62%), 4,5,25,27 also in term of medicinal plants collection, storage and recipes preparation, women were more involved than men. This predominance of women over men can be explained by their responsibilities as mothers, 41,42 they are the ones who give first aid to their children in cases of illness and know the secrets of the kitchen and the tricks of the healthy meals and domestic chores.…”

“…Among all the parts of medicinal plants, leaves were the most-used part throughout the study area with a percentage of 56.95% (Figure 4), in this respect, the predominance of leaves in traditional remedies has been reported by several studies in Algeria, [4][5]23,27,28 Spain, 67 Italy 68 and Turkey. 69 The preference of leaves in traditional medicine can be explained by the ease and speed of harvest, 34,40,70 besides, the leaves are the site of photosynthesis and sometimes the storage site of secondary metabolites, responsible for the plant's biological properties.…”

Together with its biodiversity richness, Algeria has a long and rich herbal medical tradition (Farid, 2011;Scherrer et al, 2005 in Boughrara andBelgacem, 2016). In this country, phytotherapy is an integral part of local culture (Bouasla & Bouasla, 2017) that, to a great extent, has not been written down and continues to be transmitted orally between generations (Baba Aissa, 1991; Bouasla and Bouasla, 2017).…”
