Conservation of these medicinal plants in the field and the scientific documentation of our knowledge about them are therefore crucial. An ethnobotanical survey of plants used for the treatment of tuberculosis (TB) was carried out in selected areas of the Eastern Cape, South Africa. These areas were Hala, Ncera, Sheshegu, and Gquamashe, all within the Nkonkobe Municipality. One hundred informants were interviewed. The survey included the identification of scientific and vernacular names of the plants used for treatment of TB as well as the methods of preparation and administration, the part used, dosage, and duration of treatment. The survey revealed 30 plants belonging to 21 families which are commonly used by traditional healers for the treatment of TB and associated diseases. Of these plants Clausena Anisata，Haemanthus albiflos，和 艾蒿AFRR.是最引用的。叶子是药用制剂中最常见的部分。我们的研究结果是关于药用植物文件的重要性。SN - 1741-427X UR - https://doi.org/10.1155/2014/735423 DO - 10.1155 /735423分之2014JF - 循证补充和替代医学PB - Hindawi出版公司公司KW - ER -
