“…The decoction, the infusion and the powder were generally the method of choice, accounting for 31, 30 and 24% respectively, followed by fumigation preparation (3%), cataplasm (3%) and friction (1%) (Figure n°8). The decoction allows collecting most active ingredients and limiting or cancels the toxic effect of certain recipes (Salhi, 2010). In other regions of Morocco, decoction and infusion were also the most used herbs preparations (Ziyyat et al, 1997;Merzouki et al, 2000;El-Hilaly et al, 2003;Tahraoui et al, 2007, Abouri et al, 2012.…”

“…Morocco is one of the Mediterranean countries with a long tradition in the field of phytotherapy (Jouad et al, 2001;Scherrer et al, 2005). Many authors have studied traditional pharmacopoeia in different areas of Morocco (Bellakhdar et al, 1991;Sijelmassi, 2003;Bellakhdar, 1997;Ziyyat et al, 1997;Merzouki et al, 2000;Jouad et al, 2001;Eddouks et al, 2002;El-Hilaly et al, 2003;Mehdioui & Kahouadji, 2007;Tahraoui et al, 2007 ;Hseini, 2008;Salhi et al, 2010 ;Bourkhiss et al, 2013;Daoudi et al, 2013;Nassif et al, 2013). To our knowledge, the South of Morocco made a few ethnobotanical studies (Abouri et al, 2012 ;Saadi et al, 2013).…”

Objective: As part of the development of natural heritage of Morocco, an ethnobotanical study was conducted in the region of Agadir Ida Ou Tanane (Southwest Morocco) with the aim to collect detailed information about the usage of plants in human therapy. Methodology and results: The survey was carried out over a period of 24 months, by means of semi-structured and structured interviews. A total of 400 interviews were done with traditional health practitioners and knowledgeable villagers. Data collected was on, vernacular names of plants, their uses, parts used and mode of preparation. Other information about users was also collected such as age, sex, level of education. A total of 110 plants species belonging to 53 families and 95 genera were inventoried with 7.27 % of the species endemic to Morocco. Plants frequently used were: Thymus satureioides (Tazouknnit, Zaitra), Thymus broussonnetii (Azoukni, Zaater), Argania spinosa (Argan), Tetraclinis articulata (Azouka, Aârar) and Lavandula dentate (Igerch, Halhal). The elderly (more than 50 years) have more knowledge in medicinal plants with regard to the other age groups, this indicates that knowledge was acquired by long experience accumulated. Conclusion and application of results: This survey shows that traditional medicine is still used and constituted a very rich heritage in Agadir Ida Ou Tanane Region. The collected data may help to avoid the loss of traditional knowledge on the use of medicinal plants detained in the study area, and represent the preliminary information required in view of a future phytochemical investigation on the most used plants.

“…(Fig. 4).The high frequency of use of leaves can be explained by the ease and speed of harvest [17,18], but also by the fact that they are the site of photosynthesis and sometimes storage of secondary metabolites of the biological properties of the plant [19,20]. It should be noted that the uses of plant organs are sometimes combined.…”

Abstract:On the high plains of Setif, the old inhabitants have built a real knowledge of medicinal plants properties. Traditional knowledge about plants and their properties are still fairly common. Our scientific motivation stems from the absence of any flora and ethnobotanical study in this area. During different field campaigns, we identified 93 medicinal species belonging to 32 botanical families. This number reflects the wealth of medicinal plants that are still traditionally used. To gather as much information on the use of plants, a series of ethnobotanical surveys were conducted in the field during periods of picking from villagers, herbalists and traditional healers. According to those surveyed, the fresh leaves and seeds are considered the most popular and common parts that can address several diseases where oral and dermal administration are recommended. The most used plants are: Artemisia herba-alba, Argyrolobium saharae, Gymnosporia senegalensis, Ormenis africana, Pallenis spinosa, Thymus ciliatus, Pistacia atlantica, Paronychia arabica, Globularia alypum, Ajuga iva, Peganum harmala, Ruta chalepensis, Tapsia garganica, Pituranthos scoparius. Djebel Zdimm offers floristic diversity and a sizeable traditional therapeutic knowledge. The safeguarding and preservation of this ancestral heritage is one of our objectives in this semi-arid steppe.

“…Pour la préparation, le mode dominant est la décoction suivi de l'infusion. Ces résultats sont conformes à ceux de Salhi et al (2010) qui a trouvé la décoction aqueuse (37,6 %), l'infusion (24,7 %) et la poudre (25,9 %). Il conclut que la décoction permet de recueillir le plus de principes actifs mais attenue ou annule l'effet toxique de certains principes actifs.…”

RESUMEObjectif : L'usage de Ocimum gratissimum Lamiaceae (Basilic tropical) est très répandu au Bénin. Cette utilisation repose sur les connaissances empiriques des populations. Il est légitime de se demander si les vertus attribuées à cette plante reposent sur des bases scientifiques et sa consommation sans conséquences néfastes pour la santé humaine. Méthodologie et résultats : Une étude ethnobotanique a ciblé les vendeurs de légumes feuilles des trois principaux marchés (Dantokpa ; Saint Michel ; Vêdoko), quelques phytothérapeutes, des agents de santé et des consommateurs de Cotonou la capitale de la République du Bénin. Elle a été complétée par une étude phytochimique basée sur des réactions de précipitations différentielles, complétée par le dosage des métaux lourds (Plomb ; Cadmium), de quelques éléments nutritifs et oligo-éléments par spectrophotométrie d'absorption moléculaire. Il ressort des investigations plusieurs usages de Ocimum gratissimum Linn (médicinal ; alimentaire ; rituel ; chimique ; ornemental). Cette plante renferme plusieurs groupes phytochimique (phénoliques ; azotés ; stéroïdes ; terpènes ; mucilages ; dérivés cyanogéniques), des éléments nutritifs (Protéines ; Azote ; Fer ; Zinc ; Cuivre). Par ailleurs, nos résultats montrent la présence de métaux lourds (Plomb ; Cadmium) dans des concentrations supérieures aux normes OMS. Conclusion et application des résultats : Les résultats des analyses phytochimiques et nutritionnelles confirment les usages empiriques identifiés lors de l'étude ethnobotanique. Cette plante est un remède dans la prévention et le traitement de certaines maladies, un complément alimentaire, une solution alternative dans la lutte chimique. Toutefois, la présence des Éléments Traces Métalliques avec des concentrations supérieures aux normes OMS traduit un risque potentiel pour la santé humaine. Il urge pour l'état central, les partenaires ABSTRACT Objective: The use of Ocimum gratissimum Lamiaceae (African Basil) is widespread in Benin. This study evaluated whether the virtues attributed to this plant are focused on rational basis and that its consumption is without adverse consequences for human health. Methodology and Results : An ethnobotanical study targeting leaves from vegetable vendors in the three major markets (Dantokpa ; Saint Michel ; Vêdoko), some herbalists, health workers and consumers was conducted in Cotonou the capital city of Benin. A phytochemical study based on differential precipitation reactions was carried out, supplemented by the determination of heavy metals (lead, cadmium) and some nutrients by molecular absorption spectrophotometry. The investigations revealed several uses of Ocimum gratissimum Linn (Lamiaceae) i.e medicinal, food, ritual, chemical and ornamental. It contains phytochemicals compound such as phenolic; nitrogen; steroids; terpenes; mucilage; derived cyanogenic and several nutrients (protein; Nitrogen; Iron; Zinc; Copper). The results also reveal the presence of heavy metals (lead, cadmium) in concentrations above the WHO standa...
