“…Most of the medicinal plants identified in this study are herbaceous. Previous work has also listed a large number of herbaceous used in remedies for AHT and gastric ulcers (Adomou et al 2012, Dassekpo et al 2017, Sewani-Rusike & Mammen 2014. This finding indicates that herbaceous are important components of medicinal plant diversity and contribute significantly to global biodiversity and the treatment of many chronic diseases all over the world.…”

“…Thus, people suffering from chronic diseases search for alternative medications, such as herbal remedies for the treatment necessary to relieve symptoms. Literature is full of studies on herbal medication (Adomou et al 2006, Adomou et al 2012, Bio et al 2015, Dassekpo et al 2017, Dossou et al 2021. Obviously, the use of herbal remedies is not astonishing, given that they contain active ingredients with known therapeutic properties (Al Disi et al 2016, Pan et al 2013.…”

“…Four traditional methods of preparation of N. Laevis (boiled in infusion or decoction; macerated and pressed; cold powder often produced by manual grinding; hot powder or inflammation) and several routes of administration (oral; dermal and inhalation) were identified. Plant and all parts of N. Laevis were used as drugs [19] . Medicinal plants are the backbone of traditional medical practice; and indigenous knowledge needed for effective herbal medicine practice differs between cultures in different communities .…”

This study focused on a review of existing data on Newbouldia laevis and its potential effects on metabolic syndrome. Progressive changes in lifestyle that promote sedentary lifestyle, nutritional imbalances associated with excessive levels of refined sugars and fat that promote excess calories, and genetic factors have contributed significantly to the increase in cardiovascular disease, diabetes and the emergence of the concept of metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome refers to an aggregation of factors that intervene, most often together, it is defined as a set of biological and clinical disorders whose metabolic aberrations are mainly: Insulin resistance and dysglycemia, obesity (general and abdominal), atherogenic dyslipidaemia, high blood pressure pro-inflammatory and prothrombotic states. The management of metabolic syndrome is very complex, because the components are associated differently in each patient due to the genetic susceptibility of each to develop one component over another, and the many environmental factors influencing the development of the pathology. The African continent is full of a great diversity of plant species, most of which are used by people as medicines to solve their health problems, because they are readily available. The African hyssop or Newbouldia laevis is a plant in the family Bignoniaceae. The qualitative phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, tannins, saponins, terpenes, flavonoids, and cardiac glycosides anthraquinones in Newbouldia laevis leaf extract. Several therapeutic properties have been attributed to the plant Newbouldia laevis including anti-hyperglycemic, cardio-protective and hypotensive activity, body weight reduction, anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic, hepato-protective, antiparasitic, antibiotic. Herbal medicine is an alternative way to treat metabolic syndrome, and its importance is growing.

Neurologic and neuropsychiatric disorders are among the leading causes of disability and low quality of life in many places around the world. 1 One of the most prevalent of these disorders is epilepsy. Globally, epilepsy is a disorder that affects 1% of all people by age 20, and 3% by age 75. It is not limited to specific geographical area, social status, race or gender. 2 It is estimated that 50-60 million people around the world have the disorder, and majority of these people are in developing countries. It is also reported that 60-70% of those who are epileptic in the developing nations have no access to the required medical care. 3 Many epileptic patients are gainfully employed, while others require prolonged hospitalization. Epilepsy does not generally shorten life, but neurological, psychiatric or cognitive impairments can reduce the quality of life. The term epilepsy is used interchangeably with seizure and is derived from a Greek word 'epilambanein' (επιλαμβάνειν) which means 'to seize'. It is a group of chronic disorders characterized by the occurrence of seizures. A seizure is an episode or attack in which there is a loss or disturbance of consciousness, sometimes accompanied by convulsions.
