Abstract

 

Prostatic diseases, named ''Keken schienke'' in Bamoun language

(difficulty to urinate or dysuria), are known by the traditional healers of the

Foumban area. The field work permitted us to collect 40 plant species belonging

to 29 families. They serve to prepare 27 remedies used to treat prostatitis (15

recipes), adenoma of prostate (5) and cancer of prostate (7). Two plants

(Raphia mambillensis and Vernonia guineensis) are those used for the 3 types of

prostatic diseases, the more valued being Vernonia guineensis, called “Ginseng

of Guinea†by traditional healers.

 

Key words: Medicinal plants, prostatic diseases, Foumban, Cameroon.

 

 

 

We will be most grateful if you could create time to

review the manuscript.

Kindly send me an email to acknowledge the receipt of

this mail and I will be most grateful to hear from you.

 

Best regards
