“…In Sierra-Leone sap oozing from stem is instilled in eyes to improve sight or to cure eye troubles (Kanteh and Norman, 2015;Lebbie and Guries, 1995). Leaf decoction is as well used in Ivory Coast for conjunctivitis healing as ocular bath solution (Adiko et al, 2014) (Table 13).…”

The present study was carried out to inventory medicinal plants storage conditions on the markets of Abidjan district. A survey was conducted from August to October 2015 in three settings of the district of Abidjan (Abobo, Adjame and Yopougon). A total of 350 sellers of medicinal plants were interrogated using semi-structured interviews. The respondents were predominantly female (98.9%), aged between 30 and 60 years. The supply of medicinal plants in the markets was done by the wholesalers (86%) who themselves harvested plants in different forests or savanah of Côte d’Ivoire. The majority of sellers (73%) did not apply any measure of hygiene in storage. These people in 99.4% of case were not trained on good storage practices. Sale places were accessible to rodents and exposed to dust caused by traffic jamp. The presence of mud (9.1%) and garbage (23.1%) was noted in the immediate surrounding of the displays. These practices of processing and storage of medicinal plants were similar in all the visited settings. These storage conditions may constitute a hazardous risk for the consumer and justify the degradation of medicinal plants on the markets.

Traditional medicine has a great impact on aboriginal heal thin Algerian Sahara and particularly in Hoggar. It is based on the use of local plants.This study is based on phytochemical screening. Antioxidant activity evaluation by two methods of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH): bioautography and spectrophotometric assay, and microbiological activity of twelve plants species from nine families sampled in Hoggar.The antioxidant activity revealed by the bioautography (DPPH) showed a positive activity on aqueous extracts of ten species among the twelve assayed. Both species Lavandula pubescens subesp. antinea and Mentha longifolia (Lamiaceae) have reported a significant activity compared to the others.The comparison of antiradical activity bybioautography and phytochemical study by TLC showed the presence of cardiotonic glycosides, saponins and flavonoids which could be responsible of antioxidant activity or some species.The antimicrobial activity assay showed that plant aqueous extracts were inefficient on the majority of tested strains except for Balanites aegyptica extract on Bacillus subtilis ATCC6633. Moreover, remarkable antifungal activity of Aerva javanica aqueous extracts on four fungal strains such as Candida albicans C200, Aspergillus flavus AF1, Aspergillus carbonarius M333, Fusarium culmorum FC1was observed.
