Abstract
An ethnobotanical study of medicinal and aromatic plants was carried out in the Massmouda district of Ouezzane. It was done in order to establish the catalog of aromatic and medicinal plants and to gather all the information concerning the therapeutic uses practiced by the local population in the region studied. The results obtained made it possible to inventory 21 exploited species, divided into 14 families. Cataloged plants are used for several purposes, with therapeutic use being the most common (90% of total uses). A very important part of the recipes is recommended for the treatment of certain disorders of the digestive system, the nervous system and the cutaneous system. The leaves and the seed are the most used organ. The most frequently used methods of preparation for most remedies are decoction (38%), infusion (25.5%) and finally powder (25%).
