Morocco has a high level of biodiversity and endemism of medicinal plants. However, these plants are threatened by the growing human population and climate change. The loss of medicinal plants will have a potential negative impact on the population who rely heavily on these plants for the treatments of diseases. The objective of the present study was to document ethnomedicinal knowledge use to treat different human ailments from people living in the Middle Atlas Mountains of Morocco. Field work was conducted between March and May of 2017. Data was collected from 320 users through a questionnaire survey. Results of the study indicate that people of the Middle Atlas use 44 plant species mostly herbs (66%) for ethnomedicinal purposes. The highest the Informant Consensus Factor value (0.93) was obtained for gastrointestinal problems followed by respiratory infections (0.92), and neurological problems (0.82), and based on the species Use Value, the five most commonly used ethnomedicinal plants species were Thymus vulgaris, Mentha pulegium, Aloysia citriodora, Rosmarinus officinalis, Lavandula dentata and M. rotundifolia. The present study showed that traditional treatment using medicinal plants in widespread in the study area. Protection measures should be taken to conserve precious multipurpose species that are facing overexploitation. Moreover, medicinal plants treating major ailments in the region may be subjected to phytochemical and pharmacological investigations for the identification of bioactive compounds.

“…plants in different parts of Morocco have been documented previously, including the Rif and the High Atlas Mountains [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. There is only one published report on the use of MAP in the Middle Altas Mountain areas, and it covered only the city Khenifra [22].…”

“…Besides, the leaves are the seat of the photosynthesis and sometimes the storage of the secondary metabolites responsible for the biological properties of the plant. Similar findings indicated leaf as a major dominant plant part in Morocco [22,[38][39][40][41] or Africa [36,[42][43][44] for herbal medicine preparation.…”

The Rif region has a rich culture of popular medicine use and valuable medicinal plant practices. This study aimed to assess the potential concerning medicinal plants used in the treatment of neurological diseases. An ethnobotanical survey has been carried out in the Rif for two periods from June 2016 to June 2018. To gather information about indigenous medicinal plants, 520 indigenous people of Rif were interviewed. The data were gathered through semi-structured interviews and free listening, analyzed, and compared. A total of 42 plant species belonging to 37 genera and 23 families were mentioned to be used for treatment by the informants. Lamiaceae was the most commonly reported family in this study area. The most common ailment treated was epilepsy. The preponderance of the herbal remedies was prepared from infusion (53.4%). Leaf was the commonly used plant part (44.3%) and Marrubium vulgare L. (29.4%) was the species most commonly prescribed by indigenous healers. The results of this investigation revealed that indigenous communities living in the Rif are still reliant on plants to treat neurological diseases. These reported medicinal species can serve as a source for further investigations on these medicinal plant knowledge and future phytochemical, toxicological, and pharmacological studies.

“…Among these, 382 taxa (9% of the overall flora in Morocco) are exploited for therapeutic, medicinal and aromatic purposes and are classified as aromatic and medicinal plants (Aafi et al 2005). In Morocco, at least 600 plants are used in phytotherapy (Rejdali 1996), and numerous ethnobotanical studies have been conducted in several regions of Morocco (Bammi & Douira 2002, Benlamdini et al 2014, Chaachouay et el. 2019, El Yahyaoui et al 2015, Hseini & Kahhouadji 2007, Salhi et al 2010.…”

Background:This ethnobotanical and ethnopharmacological study was conducted in the High Atlas Central of Morocco. Its aim is to promote the use of medicinal plants through the realisation of an inventory of these plants and their therapeutic uses in this region. Methods: The ethnopharmacological surveys conducted in the field from 2015 to 2017 have allowed filling 1192 questionnaires. Information was collected by an ethnobotanical and a floristic survey with using open-ended and semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and Student's t test; Quantitative ethnobotanical indices such as Fidelity Level (FL), Relative Citation Frequency (RCF) Frequency (F), and Family Importance Value (FIV) were also used to compare data. The medicinal plants were collected, identified
