Plants in the traditional medicine of the Ubaye Valley
Abstract
The study of the traditional pharmacopoeia in the Ubaye Valley (in the Alpes de Haute Provence department) enabled us to draw up a table showing 136 medicinal plants, their vernacular names, their suitable parts, the instructions for use, the medical purposes and the principal pharmacological and therapeutical properties. This study points out the close connection between plants, pathology and the living conditions of an agro-sylvo-pastoral civilization.
