Abstract
Objectives: The health conditions of women are broad, and range from pregnancy, gynaecological conditions to overall health/wellness. Ethnomedicinal investigation on plants used in the management of women-related health disorders was conducted in Bode herbal market, Ibadan, Southwestern Nigeria to further emphasize the role of herbal medicine in reproductive health.
Methodology and Results: Ten herb sellers (all females; age range, 35–57; mean, 45.80; SD, 7.41) were interviewed in the local language (Yoruba) and their responses recorded. Recipes used in the management of arthritis, fibroid (uterine and menopausal), and obesity/overweight were documented. Thirty (38) plant species belonging to 24 plant families are profiled. The family Fabaceae had the highest number of species (n= 7) while stem bark was the most frequently used (37%) plant part. Methods of preparations were mainly decoction and steeping of botanicals in alcohol. Administration includes taking one tot/half-a-glass cup, 2 (morning and night) to 3 times daily.
