dc.descriptionA symposium paper on the development of ethical phytomedicines in Togo based on natural ingredients extracted from the environment.en
dc.description.abstractThe use of traditional remedies based on plant, animal and mineral extracts is a common practice in West African countries, especially in the rural areas where approximately 70-80% of the population lives. In Togo for example, ethnobotanical surveys indicate uses for >350 species of plants, 24 species of animals and 5 mineral preparations. (Adajanohoun et al. 1996). The remedies are prepared by healers, according to their ancestral knowledge. The healers are well known in their villages and the population has a great regard for most of them. In Togo, they often have their own clinics and are well organized into a national association.en
