Abstract

This theoretical study aims to identify and count the medicinal plants growing in the wadi souf region, and to discover their therapeutic uses, whether folk or pharmaceutical, as well as to identify the areas of presence of these plants. Through this study, we found that the Wadi Souf region contains several important medicinal plants that are used in several fields in traditional medicine and have many therapeutic benefits that enter the various organs of the human body and in some cases even animals, as medicinal plants are an ancient source of treatment and health care, as many rely on them to alleviate diseases and improve health and various industries such as pharmaceutical and food and this is because they contain active ingredients known as secondary plant compounds, including alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, terpenoids and others. These compounds have various therapeutic and aromatic properties, of which we counted about 20 medicinal plants with excellence, and we have investigated the use of these plants and found that they are used in the treatment of the digestive system, the circulatory system, various places of pain, wounds and others, and they have therapeutic properties represented in diabetes, blood pressure, fighting cancerous diseases, treating infertility cases in men and women, and rheumatic pain. We also found during our investigation into the methods of use that there are common mistakes about medication with these plants that must be cautioned against, for example in mixing some herbs and taking into account cases of pregnancy, lactation and even those with chronic diseases, and must consult a doctor or experienced people before using and taking medicinal plants.
