This study aims to know the natural heritage of the Tamentout forest through a floristic inventory made in several cantons and to evaluate the uses of traditional medicine in the Sétifian Tell, by conducting an ethnobotanical study at the level of several localities in the region. A quantitative and qualitative analysis of the listed flora identified 101 plant species, which are divided into 38 families and 97 genera. An important representation of the Asteraceae (19%), Fabaceae and Lamiaceae families (11%) are noted. The floristic study emphasizes the presence of several biological types, with a codominance of hemicryptophytes (with 42%) and therophytes (31%). The Mediterranean floristic element constitutes the most important chorological ensemble (52%). The ethnobotanical survey was conducted among 82 informants, with a total of 290 questionnaire cards. All the results were processed by statistical processing software: Excel 2007 and IBM SPSS Statistics version 23. These results showed that the leaves are the most used part (43%) and that the methods of use are prepared in the form of infusion (25%), poultices (18%), and decoction (11%). The most common forms of use are herbal tea (46%), powder (25%), and essential oil (19%). The oral route is the most widely used route of administration (51%). The most common pathologies are those of the digestive system (20%) and the respiratory system (18%). This study made it possible to identify the diversity of the flora of the Tamentout South Slope forest and list its traditional care and consequently to contribute to the conservation of the Mediterranean pharmacopeia that is being lost.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: An ethnobotanical survey was conducted in three regions of the country (two rural and one urban), using a questionnaire focussing on anti-diarrheal therapeutic habits. Methodology: Information about the plants has been recorded (local name, organs or part(s) of the plant used, therapeutic indications, harvesting methods, methods of administration, side   effects, etc.). Collection of the plants was done in collaboration with traditional                  practitioners and identification of the specimens was conducted at the National Floristic Center (Ivory coast). During the ethnobotanical survey, twelve traditional healers and nine breeders were interviewed which all declared to treat diarrhoea with plants. During this survey, twenty-seven species belonging to eighteen different families of plants were reported for anti-diarrhoeal use in humans or animals. They were all harvested on the field and a herbarium of each species was prepared in duplicate, one stored at the National Floristic Centre of the Felix Houphouët-Boigny University and the other at the Pasteur Institute of Ivory coast. Results: Decoction was the most common mode of preparation used by practionioners and the oral route remained also the main way of administration of plants by healers. These plants are also used in other countries for the same or other purpose. Conclusion: This study shows that traditional medicinal plants play an important role in the treatment of diarrhoea in Ivory coast. It provides basis for future studies to assess, biological and chemical potential of these plants.

Plant Parts

Opuntia ficus-indica(the cactus or prickly pear) is a cactus belonging to the Opuntiae family. Several Opuntiae plant parts have been used in traditional Moroccan medicine. In this study, we investigated its most common use as an analgesic. An ethnobotanical study ofOpuntia ficus-indicawas first conducted in 10 areas in Morocco. Extracts fromOpuntia ficus-indicacladodes were obtained using a decoction method and its analgesic activity in mice was investigated by the hot plate and tail flick methods. Cladode extracts had significant (p<0.05) analgesic activity at intraperitoneal doses of 300, 500, and 1000 mg/kg body weight. Both methods revealed significantly increased latency at all three doses (p<0.05) compared to controls. These data suggest that the traditional use of this plant as an analgesic is valid; in fact, perhaps it may be a centrally-acting analgesic.

Therapeutic Alternatives

Mosquitoes have developed resistance, hence the need for anti-malarial medicines. This resistance calls for therapeutic an interest to therapeutic alternatives, including the medicinal plants. An ethnopharmacological survey was conducted amongst 15 Traditional Healers, recommended by the National Program for the Promotion of Traditional Medicine using semi-structured interviews in the city of Bouna. The ethnobotanical survey conducted in 2019 has enabled the identification of 32 plant species belonging to 30 genera and grouped into 19 families. The most represented families were Fabaceae (5 species) Anacardiaceae (4 species), Annonaceae (3 species), Rubiaceae, Zingiberaceae, Asteraceae, and Combretaceae with 2 species each. The species were mostly trees (63.63%). Leaves were the most frequently used parts of the plants (44.4%). The results of our investigations show that the most used mode is the decoction (42.22%). The oral route (60%) is the most used mode of administration. These species complete the non-exhaustive list of medicinal plants that the populations of Cote d'Ivoire use. It was found out that, people in this area commonly use medicinal plants with trust they have built on the curative outcome witnessed. However, this creates a further work to test for the antiplasmodial activity and to develop of Traditional Improved Medicines (MTAs).

1 RESUME Objectif : Le Burkina Faso, à l’instar des pays du Sahel subit une forte dégradation des terres suite à des sécheresses successives et aux activités anthropiques. La plantation des arbres demeure l’activité capitale pour restaurer l’écosystème sahélien. Cependant, le principal souci consiste à mettre en place une gestion durable des sites restaurés. L’objectif de cette étude est de faire connaitre les usages en médecine traditionnelle des espèces végétales les mieux adaptées dans la récupération des terres dégradées au nord du Burkina Faso. Méthodologie et résultats : Une enquête ethnobotanique a été menée dans 08 villages de la province du Soum au nord du Burkina Faso pour connaitre les plantes de cette région et les pratiques médicales traditionnelles des populations. Les résultats ont montré que 53 espèces réparties en 28 familles et 44 genres ont été répertoriées. Les FabaceaeMimosoideae, les Combretaceae, les Fabaceae-Caesalpinioideae et les Anacardiaceae étaient les familles les mieux représentées. Les maladies les plus rencontrées par les populations qui y vivent et traitées avec les plantes étaient les infections/infestations (20%), les troubles du système digestif (18%), les troubles gynéco-obstétrique et urologique (14%), les troubles cutané-dermatologiques (14%).Les feuilles étaient les parties les plus recommandées (43%) dans les recettes. La décoction (45%) comme mode de préparation des recettes et la voie orale comme mode d’administration (50%) étaient les plus indiquées. Vu le caractère particulier de la zone d’étude qui est fortement pastorale, 19% des plantes répertoriées étaient aussi utilisées pour les soins du bétail. Conclusion et application des résultats : Ces résultats constituent une base de données scientifique sur l’utilisation des espèces sahéliennes pour la santé en médecine R-Tiendrebeogo et al., 2019 Journal of Animal & Plant Sciences (J.Anim.Plant Sci. ISSN 2071-7024) Vol.41 (1): 6767-6783. https://doi.org/10.35759/JAnmPlSci.v41-1.4 traditionnelle. La valorisation des vertus thérapeutiques des plantes sahéliennes contribuerait à une gestion rationnelle de la biodiversité végétale, et serait une alternative pour une pérennisation des terres récupérées, voire une reforestation à grande échelle. Sahelian plants adapted in the recovery of degraded lands and their uses for health: case of the Soum province in northern Burkina Faso ABSTRACT Objective: Burkina Faso, like the Sahel countries suffers a major land degradation following successive droughts and human activities. The planting of trees remains the key activity to restore the Sahelian ecosystem. However, the main concern is to put in place a sustainable management of restored sites. The objective of this study is to make known the uses in traditional medicine of the plant species at best to the recovery of degraded lands in the north of Burkina Faso. Methodology and results: An ethnobotanical survey was conducted in 08 villages in the Soum province of northern Burkina Faso to find out about the plants of this region and the traditional medical practices of populations. The results showed that 53 species divided into 28 families and 44 genera were listed. Fabaceae-Mimosoideae, Combretaceae, Fabaceae-Caesalpinioideae and Anacardiaceae were the most represented families. The most common diseases encountered by the populations living there and treated with plants were infections / infestations (20%), disorders of the digestive system (18%), gynecological and obstetric disorders (14%), skin-dermatological (14%). Leaves were the most recommended parts (43%) in recipes. Decoction (45%) as a method of recipe preparation and the oral route as the method of administration (50%) were the most appropriate. Due to the special character of the study area which is highly pastoral, 19% of the listed plants were also used for livestock care. Conclusion and application of results: These results constitute a scientific database on the use of Sahelian species for health in traditional medicine. The valorization of therapeutic virtues of Sahelian plants would contribute to a rational management of plant biodiversity and would be an alternative for a perpetuation of reclaimed land, or even a large-scale reforestation.

This article presents a study of the expansion of Islamic lusterware across the Mediterranean before its production was fully consolidated in al-Andalus between the end of the twelfth and the thirteenth century. A number of examples are presented here that indicate a flourishing trade around the Mediterranean as early as the tenth century, including pottery as well as other luxury goods. A survey of lusterware found on the Iberian Peninsula has yielded relevant information on the complex technical history of local luster production. We present seven Andalusi luster fragments from the eleventh century that feature decoration on both sides, with one piece bearing epigraphic inscriptions naming two of the Abbadid rulers of Seville, al-Muʿtaḍid and al-Muʿtamid. Discovered in Spain (Seville and Palma del Rio) and Portugal (Silves and Coimbra), these fragments indicate the existence of a ceramic production center in Seville and another at the Abbadid palace during the second half of the eleventh century. These pieces indicate the direct and marked influence that the various centers of luxury luster production in the Islamic East and West exerted on one another, a phenomenon not uncommon in the history of Islamic pottery.

Background: Hypertension is one of the most common chronic diseases in modern societies and there is evidence that its incidence and severity are increasing. This survey was conducted to investigate the plants used by the Togolese traditional healers to treat the disease. Method: From January to June 2016, an ethnobotanical survey was conducted using a semi-structured questionnaire with traditional healers (TH) in the southern region of Togo. The importance of the plants was assessed by the calculation of the use value (UV). Results: In Total, 128 TH male and female were interviewed and 116 plants species belonging to 46 families were identified as treating hypertension. The most represented families were: Fabaceae with 16 species followed by Euphorbiaceae and Rutaceae contributing with 8 and 6 species respectively. Based on the calculated use values the most important species were Byrsocarpus coccineus Schum. Et thonn. (UV = 0.47); Crateva religiosa G.Forst. (UV = 0.47), Boerhavia diffusa Engelm. &A.Gray L. (UV = 0.47), Xylopia aethiopica A. Rich. (UV = 0.42), Mangnifera indica L. (UV = 0.38). The leaves and the roots were the parts of plant predominantly used to prepare the recipes, mainly decoctions administrated by oral route. Clinical manifestations such as dizzy spells, swarming, loss of consciousness, severe headache, severe anxiety and shortness of breath, nosebleed, and fear of heights were used by TH to diagnose the disease. Conclusion: This study showed initial evidence of the use of plant materials by Togolese TH to treat hypertension. These results constitute a database for pharmacological screenings with the aim of developing new therapies.
