| dc.description.abstract | Forty-five plant species and twenty-nine recipes used to treat tuberculosis in Egbado were identified. Prominent among these preparations were Garcinio kola Meckel, (Clusiaceae), Xylopia aelhiopica (Dunal) A. Rich. (Annonaccae), Musa nana Lour. (Musaceae), Anchomancs dijformis (BL.) Engl. (Araceae), Alchornea cordoifolia (Schuin. & Tlionn.) Muell. Arg. (Eupliorbiaceae), Allium ascalonicum Linn. (Liliaceae), Tetrapleura tetraptera (Sebum. & Tlionn.) Taub. (Mimosaccac). Olax subscorpinidca Oliv. (Olacaceac) and Piper guineense Sebum. & Thonn. (Piperaceae) suggesting their importance in the treatment. The need to screen the plants so identified especially those that have not been chemically and biologically studied is stressed. | |
