Ethnobotany of medicinal plants of northern Ethiopia
Original language description
An ethnobotanical survey based on semistructured questionnaires among 35 farmers was carried out in two regions in Tigray, northern Ethiopia. Ethiopia is one of the poorest countries in the world with low level of medical care; therefore indigenous knowledge of medicinal plants is highly priced information and can be a good source of income to family or community. In total, 58 plant species were detected, while 48 plants, and 44 genera, belonging to 27 families have been identified as medicinal. Vernacular, as well as scientific names, plant part used, way of use and modes of preparation and application are included. Majority of plants were used for various gastrointestinal disorders, sprains treatment or to heal bronchitis, however, interesting aspects are the uses of plants to cure bilirubinemia, prostate disorders, syphylis and milk ingest disorders.
