Phytotherapy as a branch of traditional medicine is one of the most popular remedies in developing countries. Many pharmacological studies have shown the effective effects of some plants in curing or preventing some diseases, such as diabetes and high blood pressure. Herbal medicine is appreciated for several reasons related to the region. In Morocco, it is adopted by a large segment of the population, dominated by women, illiterates and rural residents who are geographically isolated and where poverty is more pronounced. In the absence of political commitment, inappropriate use of plants can lead to serious or even fatal adverse reactions. Efforts have to be made to regulate the sale of these products, qualify service providers and raise consumer awareness. |
