| Summary: | In the present study, we were interested in conducting an ethnobotanical survey on Mountain
germander: Teucrium polium L growing wild in the region of Djelfa, known locally as Dj'aaida, with
the aim of knowing its different Traditional and medicinal uses. With the help of 100 questionnaires,
an ethnobotanical survey was carried out with people using currently medicinal plants (villagers and
herbalists).
The survey revealed a multitude of results on the use of this plant, the plant’s used parts and the
treated diseases. Thus, it is very well known in all age groups with a predominance among people
aged between 30 to 50 years. Its use allows them to minimize the physical loads required by doctors
and pharmacists. Leafy branches are the most used parts (80%). The use of mountain germander is
traditionally recommended for the treatment of infected wounds, burners and wounds (26%),
gastric ulcer (24%), and diabetes (20%). It is recommended in cases of newborns vomiting and lack of
appetite (12%), fever reduction (10%) and abdominal pain (8%).
