Etude ethnopharmacologique de plantes médicinales utilisées pour le traitement du diabète sucré au niveau de la wilaya d’Ain Témouchent

Abstract

An ethnopharmacological study carried out on 71 diabetic subjects from the wilaya of Ain Témouchent recorded a frequency of use of 54.93% of the antidiabetic plants, and allowed us to select some plants to study first: Cinnamon (CinnamomumverumJ.Press.), Olive tree (Oleaeuropaea L.), Rosemary (Rosmarinusofficinalis L.), Armenium (Artemisia herba alba Asso), White Marrube (Marrubiumvulgare L.)and Fenugreek (Trigonellafoenum-graecumL.). The pharmacological study of these plants with antidiabetic potentiality is important today, it can contribute to the isolation of active ingredient that can generate a new antidiabetic drug.
