L’étude a été réalisée auprès de la population riveraine du conservatoire botanique Michel Adanson de Mbour à l’aide de fiches d’enquête ethnobotanique. Le traitement des résultats obtenus a été effectué avec les logiciels Sphinx Plus, XLSTAT 2015 et le tableur Excel. L’étude révèle que la pharmacopée traditionnelle de la population riveraine du conservatoire botanique utilise une flore riche de 55 espèces des plantes réparties en 50 genres et 29 familles botaniques. II y a un consensus moyen sur l’utilisation des espèces au sein des affections métaboliques (0,72), respiratoires (0,66), infectieuses (0,61) et des affections dermatologiques (0,5). Par contre, les affections infectieuses constituent le groupe pathologique le plus traités par ces espèces, avec un taux de 20,9 %, suivies des affections dermatologiques (19,6 %) et des affections métaboliques (16,5 %). Les espèces médicinales spontanées sont les plus utilisées pour soigner et/ou prévenir neuf (9) groupes pathologiques. La détermination des modes de préparation, des parties utilisées et des périodes de récolte de ces plantes révèle que les feuilles et les racines sont les organes les plus utilisés et elles sont le plus souvent décoctées ou infusées. Les feuilles sont les seuls organes subissant toutes les formes de préparation sauf la fumigation. Les affections respiratoires sont entièrement traitées à base de feuilles. Les plantes médicinales sont pour la plupart collectées pendant toute l’année. Cette étude constitue une source d’information qui contribue à une connaissance de la flore médicinale et à une sauvegarde du savoir-faire populaire local. Il peut également constituer une base de données pour la valorisation des plantes.

Scientific Validity

Medicinal plants played an important role in traditional medicine for the treatment of diseases since antiquities. The aim of the study is to carry out an ethnobotanical survey on medicinal plants used traditionally in cancer treatment in the region of Greater Casablanca-Morocco, and to enhance the traditional herbal medicine knowledge. 110 traditional healers in the study area were interviewed face to face to response a survey questionnaire including the names of plants used in cancer treatment, used parts, methods of preparation, and route of administration. Indices of Fidelity Level (FL), Use Value (UV), and Relative Frequency of Citation (RFC) were calculated to identify the most effective plants used for cancer treatment. Eight species were specified including Aristolochia baetica, Aristolochia paucinervis, Bryonia dioica, Aquilaria malaccensis, Marrubium vulgare, Lavandula maroccana, Ephedra alata, and Euphorbia resinifera belonging to 7 families. Aristolochiaceae, Aquilariaceae, and Cucurbitaceae were the most useful families in cancer treatment with high significant indices of UV, FL, and RFC with values of 1, 100%, and 1, respectively. Roots and leaves were the most commonly used plant parts. Decoction and powder mixed with honey were the frequently used method for remedies preparation. The present study showed that the people living in Morocco’s economic capital are still highly dependent on traditional herbal medicine for the treatment of cancer. Therefore, it seems that herbal medicine still plays a crucial role in the primary healthcare system for the local population. During this survey, it was reported that even some plant families are highly toxic for humans like Aristolochiaceae that are frequently used in cancer treatment in the study area. As many people still rely on natural traditional medicine considering (it is safe with no side effects), so combined effort between all social categories including scientists and traditional healers should be established for involving the scientific validity of the used plants in the treatment of diseases.

Dans le but de contribuer à la sauvegarde des savoirs médicaux ancestraux et à la valorisation de la médecine traditionnelle, cent vingt tradipraticiens du département de Gagnoa ont été soumis à des entretiens semi-structurés portant sur les procédés nomenclaturaux des plantes médicinales employées dans le traitement des troubles gastroentérologiques. Ainsi, cinquante et une plantes médicinales ont été inventoriées et reparties en 47 genres et 24 familles d’Angiospermes avec une prépondérance des Fabaceae et des Lamiaceae regroupant chacune 13,73% des espèces recensées. Ces plantes portent des appellations en langues locales ivoiriennes. Quarante-cinq espèces portent des noms en langue autochtone Bété représentant 88,24% des espèces recensées. Seulement neuf d’entre elles sont désignées par des noms ayant un sens. Leurs significations se rapportent soit à leur milieu de vie, soit à leur utilité ou à leur aspect ou encore font référence à des animaux. Cette étude revêt un intérêt pour les pays africains, en particulier la Côte d’Ivoire où le savoir ancestral se perd au fil du temps avec l’abandon d’un certain nombre de valeurs culturelles.   order to contribute to the preservation of ancestral medical knowledge and the promotion of traditional medicine, one hundred and twenty tradipraticians of the department of Gagnoa were subjected to semantic interviews structured on the nomenclatural processes of medicinal plants used in the treatment of gastroenterological disorders. Thus, fifty-one medicinal plants were inventoried and divided into 47 genera and 24 families of Angiosperms with a preponderance of Fabaceae and Lamiaceae, each comprising 13.73% of the species surveyed. These plants have names in local Ivorian languages. Forty-five species have native Bété names representing 88.24% of the species surveyed. Only nine are referred to as names with meaning. Their meanings refer either to their environment, their usefulness or their appearance, or to animals. This study is of interest to African countries, in particular Côte d'Ivoire, where traditional knowledge is lost over time with the abandonment of certain cultural values

Lannea microcarpa, is one of the species of medicinal plants used in medicine and traditional pharmacopoeia for the treatment of human pathologies in Africa. This review focuses on the ethnobotanical and ethnopharmacological previous studies of Lannea microcarpa. Some information on phytochemical makeup and its effects on human health are already documented. However, information concerning its ethnopharmaceutical and phytopharmaceutical potential is scarce and poorly documented. These data were obtained by documentary researches using different scientific sites such as Google Scholar, Science Direct, Scopus, ResearchGate, PubMed, and SCIENCEDOMAIN, from theses, dissertations and scientific articles. Additional information was obtained from classic books about herbal medicine and others scientific databases. Ethnobotanical surveys carried out have indicated their uses in the management of arterial hypertension. It appears from bibliographic research that Lannea microcarpa has vasorelaxant, hypotensive and antihypertensive effects, etc. Other studies have shown the presence of phytochemicals of interest for the management of high blood pressure. However, their use in traditional forms does not make it possible to guarantee the stability of medicinal preparations. Quality control and standardization studies were carried out in order to define the optimal conditions for guaranteeing effectiveness. This article gives an overview of previous studies carried out on the plant in order to have data for the improvement of its use.

There are several problems that continue to plague the Philippine health care system. The cost of branded drugs in the Philippines is 22 times more than international reference prices while generic drugs are 4 times more.1 Despite price reductions due to legislations such as the Cheaper Medicines Act of 2008, as well as the Generics Act of 1988, those in the lower-income brackets still cannot afford maintenance medicines for hypertension and diabetes as well as antibiotics.2 Access to medicines and care from physicians and other healthcare professionals is especially challenging for geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas wherein the people are physically or economically inaccessible. Filipino traditional medicine, of which herbal medicine plays a large role has been around for centuries and is wellaccepted in the rural areas. Validating the use of these traditional medicinal plants through research is essential in order to have an evidence-based practice of herbal medicine. The main areas of research can be defined as (1) herbal medicine quality and standardization, (2) preclinical pharmacological assessments and action mechanisms, and (3) clinical efficacy and safety assessments.3 These types of researches aimed at developing safe and efficacious, as well as low-cost Philippine herbal medicines, may well be a long-term solution to the obstacles to a healthy population cited above. Our Philippine medicinal plants are a valuable but often underappreciated resource with innumerable applications for non-communicable and communicable disease indications. Limited research in this field had long been ongoing in the Philippines. Support for this movement came with the passage of the Traditional and Alternative Medicine Act of 1997 which affirmed the commitment of the government towards the support and development of traditional medicine including herbal medicine.4 Another boost was the endorsement of the Department of Health of the Sampung Halamang Gamot in the 1990s.5 The World Health Organization has advocated the integration of Traditional Medicine within national health care systems and has urged governments to develop and implement national traditional medicine policies and programs especially with Universal Health Coverage.6 It was the National Integrated Research Program of the Philippines (NIRPROMP) who was at the forefront of this field and conducted the initial studies of these Ten Medicinal Plants.7 Many of them have been developed into modern formulations. These include Lagundi (Vitex negundo) tablet and syrup for cough and asthma, Sambong (Blumea balsamifera) tablet as a diuretic and treatment of urolithiasis, Tsaang gubat (Ehretia microphylla) tablet for gastrointestinal and biliary colic, Akapulco (Senna alata) lotion for cutaneous fungal infections, Yerba Buena (Mentha villosa) tablet as an analgesic, Ulasimang bato (Peperomia pellucida) tablet for the treatment of gout and hyperuricemia. Ampalaya (Momordica charantia) tablet was also developed as a glucose-lowering agent, but it is presently undergoing researches on the reformulated tablet.8 Several of the articles in this issue present evidence for the use of some of the mentioned medicinal plants. The NIRPROMP was the forerunner and is still an integral part of the Institute of Herbal Medicine. Lagundi and Sambong have been integrated into the clinical practice of physicians in the Philippines, even by specialists. They have both been scientific and commercial successes.9 Their production has contributed to the revenue and growth of the Philippine Pharmaceutical Industry, as well as improved the economic status of farmers cultivating these crops. Developing more herbal medicines needed for primary health care would decrease our dependence on the importation of medicines, and increase the accessibility of drugs even in geographically isolated areas. Bringing back the herbal medicine gardens to the barangays in the rural communities will also assist in empowering the population. The integration of herbal medicines into mainstream clinical practice will only be possible if the researches performed, both non-clinical and clinical, are as robust as those for synthetic medicine.     Cecilia C.

Herbal medicine (also Herbalism) is the study of pharmacognosy and the use of medicinal plants. Plants have been the basis for medical treatments through most of human history, and such traditional medicine is still widely practiced today. Archaeological evidence indicates that the use of medicinal plants dates back to the Paleolithic age, approximately 60,000 years ago. Written evidence of herbal remedies dates back over 5,000 years to the Sumerians, who compiled lists of plants.

La médecine traditionnelle est profondément ancrée dans la culture de nombreux pays d’Afrique de l’ouest. L’objectif du présent travail était de contribuer à la connaissance des plantes médicinales et de leurs utilisations dans le département de Dogondoutchi à l’ouest du Niger. Un échantillon de (19) villages a été retenu dans deux communes du département. Les données ont été collectées à travers un guide d’entretien adressé à 49 personnes appartenant à différents groupes socioprofessionnels, à raison de deux à trois par village. Ces entretiens ont permis d’inventorier 55 espèces médicinales réparties en 26 familles. Les familles les plus représentées sont les Fabaceae-Caesalpinoideae (10 espèces) suivies des Fabaceae-Mimosoideae (7 espèces) et des Combretaceae (5 espèces). Les maladies couramment traitées sont les hémorroïdes, le paludisme, la fièvre et la dysenterie. La décoction, la poudre, la macération, l’infusion et la calcination constituent les modes de préparation. Les parties utilisées sont les feuilles, les écorces, les racines, les graines, les fruits les plantes entières (herbacées) et les rameaux. Beaucoup de plantes médicinales se raréfient ou ont déjà disparu dans la zone d’étude. L’adoption de méthodes de gestion durable s’avère nécessaire pour sauvegarder les plantes médicinales dans cette zone. ABSTRACT Traditional medicine is deeply rooted in the culture of many countries in West Africa. The objective of this work was to contribute to the knowledge of medicinal plants and their uses in the department of Dogondoutchi in western Niger. A sample of (19) villages was selected in two communes of the department. The data was collected through an interview guide addressed to 49 people belonging to different socio-professional groups, two to three per village. These interviews allowed to inventory 55 medicinal species divided into 26 families. The most represented families are Fabaceae-Caesalpinoideae (10 species) followed by Fabaceae-Mimosoideae (7 species) and Combretaceae (5 species). Commonly treated diseases are hemorrhoids, malaria, fever, and dysentery. decoction, powder, maceration, infusion and calcination are the methods of preparation. The parts used are leaves, bark, roots, seeds, fruits, whole plants (herbaceous) and twigs. Many medicinal plants are becoming scarce or have already disappeared in the study area. There is an urgent need to adopt a sustainable management methods to save medicinal plants in this area.
