“…The use of leaves to treat diseases is based on the fact that leaves are the main photosynthetic organs and constitute the parts relatively most easily accessible and available throughout the year [37]. The results of this study showed that aerial plant parts play an important role in herbal medicine preparation in Tzi n'Test region, agreeing with the results of studies in Morocco [24,38,39] and in other countries [25,26,[40][41][42]. Most preparations were drawn from single plant, but their mixtures were also commonly used.…”

This is commonly observed in the use of medicinal plants worldwide [26,[80][81][82]. Medicinal compounds are most easily extracted by boiling the plants.…”

Background: Diabetes is a metabolic disorder and a serious global health problem. Over 400 million people suffer from diabetes and it is estimated that the number will dramatically increase in the future. The cost of diabetes treatment for individual patients is very high. However, traditional knowledge could be used to support conventional diabetes treatments. Here, we identify medicinal plants that have been used as treatments for diabetes based on Thai ethnobotanical knowledge. Methods: We present a literature review of data for the use of ethnomedicinal plants for diabetes treatments used by people in Thailand. The data were obtained from 31 original references including theses, reports, journal articles, and books published from 1992-2015. Results: In total, 187 reports of 123 plants species that had been used traditionally to treat diabetes in Thailand were identified. Tinospora crispa (L.) Hook. f. & Thomson, Morinda citrifolia L. and Phyllanthus amarus Schumach. & Thonn were the three most commonly used species. There were also numerous reports of the use of Leguminosae, Lamiaceae, Phyllanthaceae, Rubiaceae, and Acanthaceae for the treatment of diabetes. Interestingly, the grass family (Poaceae), for which there were otherwise few medicinal use reports, ranked third in our data. Stems, roots, and leaves were most commonly used in diabetes

“…Historically, Fars, and especially Shiraz, was an important center of trade of herbal medicine in Iran. Moreover, Haly Abbas, Mansur ibn Ilyas , and Qutb al-Din al-Shirazi were popular medieval physicians living in Shiraz [19,21,22,23]. Shiraz covers an area of 189.151 km 2 , located between latitudes 291 and 610 N and longitudes 521 and 540 E. Its average annual rainfall and temperature are 337 mm and 18 °C, respectively.…”

“…Additionally, herbal remedies are found in traditional herbal markets called ‘Attari' and sellers are named ‘Attar'. Attars mostly suggest remedies for different diseases empirically and without academic education [19]. Ethnopharmacological techniques are well designed to preserve and analyze this kind of ethno-knowledge [20].…”

Background: Data from the ethnopharmacological field on the treatment of dysuria are provided and analyzed with regard to traditional healers from Shiraz and in comparison to previous studies. Material and Methods: From April 21 to June 25, 2014, we visited traditional markets called Attari in Shiraz, and plants used in dysuria were collected. Questionnaires asking for general information on the traditional healers named Attars, local names of plant species, plant parts, preparation methods, etc. were prepared in order to gather data from Attars. Results: We visited 40 Attari, and 29 questionnaires were filled in by male Attars. Evaluation of our investigation revealed that Tribulus terrestris, Zea mays, and Cerasus avium were the most common plants suggested by Attars (24, 23, and 23, respectively). Infusion (37%) and decoction (34%) were the most common preparation methods for these plants. 50% of the main effects intended by the Attars were antimicrobial effects, while diuretic effects were reported at 35.7%. The temperament of the plants, as one aspect of the questionnaires, showed that more plants have a hot and dry temperament (47.9%). According to available studies about the plants, we found that flavonoids (78.3%), higher terpenoids (43.5%), and essential oils (39.1%) exist in higher amounts than other components in the plants. Conclusions: We analyzed the information gathered from the questionnaires and from previous studies and found that flavonoids are the most important constituents among the plants, especially those that exist in T. terrestris, Z. mays, and C. avium. Due to the useful effects of flavonoids in urological diseases, we suggest to evaluate and concentrate on the effects of flavonoids in dysuria treatments.
