Abstract

The aim of this article is to investigate medicinal plants in Ben Srour region of M'sila, province and their use for treating several diseases in traditional medicine. The traditional and local uses of collected plants were questioned through semi-structured interviews with local informants and practitioners. The obtained data allowed to identify 84 species belonging to 37 botanical families with dominance of Lamiaceae (11 species), Asteraceae (8 species), Fabaceae (7 species) and Apiaceae (6 species). The most used parts of the plant are leaves (43%), aerial parts (21.7%), stems (9.6%) and seeds (7.7%), respectively. Decoction (37.87%), infusion (27.51%), powder (11.31%), maceration (5.48%) and raw (6%) are mode of traditional preparation of the medicinal plants by the local people. According to the results, used plants in Ben Srour region can be as a potential source of useful drugs.

Key words: Ben Srour, M'sila, investigation, medicinal plants, traditional preparation.

INTRODUCTION Therefore ethnobotanical studies are often significant in revealing locally plant species Plants have been used in traditional medicine important especially for the discovery of crude for several thousand years (Abu-Rabia, 2005). drugs. Thus, documenting the indigenous Since the advent of modern allopathic knowledge through ethnobotanical studies is medicine, the use of traditional medicine important for the conservation and utilization (including the use of medicinal plants for cure) of biological resources. Nowadays, according declined to a considerable extent. However, in to the World Health Organization (WHO), as recent years, traditional medicine has made a many as 80% of the world's people depend on comeback for a variety of reasons such as side- traditional medicine for their primary effects and toxicity of modern synthetic drugs, healthcare needs. Ethno-medicinal surveys or evolution of multi-drug resistance surveys of medicinal plants used by traditional microorganisms, and the inability of modern medicinal practitioners could represent a rich medicine to find effective cures for a number of source of data for the knowledge of medicinal diseases. During the last few decades there has plants and the ailments for which they are used. been an increasing interest in the traditional use These data can provide the background and of medicinal plants in different parts of the save the potential researcher from fruitless world (Al-Qura'n, 2005; Gazzaneo et al., 2005; research in modern scientific inquiries about Lev, 2006). Several studies highlight the the disease-curing properties of any particular importance of herbal medicine among plant. The study of medicinal plants in this area indigenous peoples (Tabuti et al., 2003; has not been realized as fully as that of other Kujawska et al., 2017). traditional communities elsewhere.
