Durant la pÃ©riode de grossesse, la femme enceinte devient vulnÃ©rable Ã  certaines pathologies. En zones rurales, plusieurs plantes sont utilisÃ©es pour traiter les femmes enceintes. Lâ€™objectif de ce travail a Ã©tÃ© dâ€™inventorier les plantes utilisÃ©es par les tradipraticiens pour la confection des remÃ¨des traditionnels utilisÃ©s pour le suivi de la grossesse. Lâ€™enquÃªte ethnobotanique a Ã©tÃ© menÃ©e Ã  lâ€™aide dâ€™un questionnaire par la mÃ©thode de lâ€™interview semistructurÃ©. La plupart des 104 tradipraticiens interviewÃ©es Ã©taient des femmes (88,46 %) et avaient un Ã¢ge supÃ©rieur Ã  45 ans (80,77 %). Au total, 27 espÃ¨ces vÃ©gÃ©tales reparties entre 26 genres et 18 familles ont Ã©tÃ© citÃ©es. Les plantes ont Ã©tÃ© classÃ©es selon diffÃ©rents stades de la grossesse. Ainsi, celles utilisÃ©es durant toute la durÃ©e de la grossesse reprÃ©sentent 33,33 %. Les organes les plus utilisÃ©s sont les feuilles avec 88 %. Le pÃ©trissage (98 %) et la macÃ©ration (2 %) sont les techniques de prÃ©paration citÃ©es, avec lâ€™eau comme solvant pour la prÃ©paration des recettes. Ces remÃ¨des sont administrÃ©s par voies anale (98 %) et orale (2 %). Parmi les plantes citÃ©es Secamone afzelii (Cpr = 38), Mallotus oppositifolius (Cpr = 36) et Turraea heterophylla (Cpr = 32) sont sollicitÃ©es sur toute la pÃ©riode de la grossesse et contribuent le plus Ã  la prÃ©paration des recettes. Cette Ã©tude a permis de dresser une liste non exhaustive de plantes utilisÃ©es par les femmes enceintes pour le bon dÃ©veloppement de leur grossesse. Ces ressources vÃ©gÃ©tales mÃ©ritent des Ã©tudes biologiques et chimiques en vue de leur bonne valorisation.
During the pregnancy period, the pregnant woman becomes vulnerable to certain pathologies. In rural areas, several plants are used to treat pregnant women. The objective of this study was to inventory the plants used by traditional healers for the preparation of traditional remedies used for monitoring pregnancy. The ethnobotanical survey was conducted using a questionnaire by the semi-structured interview method. Most of the 104 traditional healers interviewed were women (88.46%) and were over the age of 45 (80.77%). A total of 27 plant species distributed among 26 genera and 18 families were cited. Plants were classified according to different stages of pregnancy. Thus, those used throughout the duration of pregnancy represented 33.33%. The most used organs were the leaves with 88%. Kneading (98%) and maceration (2%) were the preparation methods mentioned, with water as solvent for the preparation of recipes. These remedies were administered by anal (98%) and oral (2%) routes. Among the plants mentioned Secamone afzelii (Cpr = 11,37%), Mallotus oppositifolius (Cpr = 10.11%) and Turraea heterophylla (Cpr = 9.57%) were used throughout the period of pregnancy and contributed the most to the preparation of recipes. This study draws up a nonexhaustive list of plants used by pregnant women for the good development of their pregnancy. These plant resources deserve biological and chemical studies with a view of their good development.
