In the West Algerian steppe (Region of Saida), an ethnobotanical research of medicinal plants was done. It was created with the goal of compiling a list of medicinal plants and gathering information on the therapeutic applications of the local population in the research region.

The findings led to the identification of 31 medicinal plants from 20 different groups, including the Asteraceae and Lamiaceae. They discovered that the foliage and the entire plant are the most commonly used plant parts, and that the majority of treatments are made as a decoction or infusion. Treatment of digestive tract disorders is the most common ailment treated, accounting for 22% of all cases, followed by treatment of the respiratory system (15%) and diseases of the blood (12%). (13 percent ).

The findings are extremely useful for the study region as well as the medicinal flora of the Algerian steppe. They could serve as a database for future study, notably in the fields of phytochemistry and pharmacology, as well as aid in the discovery of new natural products.
