- Abstract
great interest is given to the medicinal plants, which constitute an invaluable wealth for most of the inhabitants of karia Ba Mohamed and its regions. To identify and evaluate the aromatic and medicinal plants, traditionally used in the region, to treat and care for the hair; we conducted an ethnobotanical survey of 100 people of different ages and sexes using a questionnaire in order to collect as much information as possible on the therapeutic uses practiced. The results found have identify dozens of species of medicinal plants; most of them are used for the treatment and care of the hair. The data obtained was analyzed by specific quantitative indices such as frequency citation (FC), relative frequency of citation (RFC) and family importance value (FIV). A total of 42 species were identified and divided into 28 families. The most cited families are the Lythraceae (FIV=0.700); Rosaceae (FIV=0.560); Zygophyllaceae (FIV= 0.460); Lamiaceae (FIV = 0.360); Papaveraceae (FIV = 0.330) Alliaceae (FIV = 0.290). Among the most used species, we note Origanum compactum Benth, Rosa centifolia L., Allium cepa L., Allium sativum L., Matricaria chamomilla L., Lawsonia inermis L., Peganum harmala L. These plants have been identified and presented considering the part used and the preparation method. These results provide a database for further studies to assess these plants' biological and chemical potential in phytochemistry and pharmacology.
