Abstract

This study was conducted in the southeastern region of Algeria (El Oued) to identify the main medicinal plants used by herbalists for the treatment of liver diseases. The study involved 100 cases across five municipalities using questionnaires. The results allowed us to identify the most commonly used plants in treatment, namely: milk thistle, turmeric, and ginger. The plant parts most frequently used are leaves (47%) and roots (27%). The boiling method (58%) is the most popular and commonly employed technique for preparing medicinal herbs. This study also demonstrated that the majority of individuals continue to use herbal remedies until recovery (80%).
