To the best of our knowledge, no comprehensive ethnobotanical survey has previously documented the medicinal plants traditionally used in this region for the treatment of nephrolithiasis, liver cirrhosis, anemia, leukemia, psoriasis, and eczema. Therefore, this study aimed to document these medicinal plants and compare their traditional uses with the available scientific evidence. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; An ethnobotanical survey was conducted in the El M’Ghair region and involved face-to-face interviews with herbalists and traditional healers regarding the medicinal plants used to treat the mentioned diseases. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The majority of herbal practitioners interviewed were men, predominantly over the age of 30. A total of 39 medicinal plant species were reported for treating these diseases. According to the survey, &lt;em&gt;Spergularia rubra&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Hordeum vulgare&lt;/em&gt; were most frequently recommended for nephrolithiasis, while &lt;em&gt;Cichorium intybus, Matricaria chamomilla&lt;/em&gt;, and &lt;em&gt;Curcuma longa&lt;/em&gt; were commonly used for liver cirrhosis. For anemia, &lt;em&gt;Ceratonia siliqua&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Lens culinaris&lt;/em&gt; were widely cited. Plants such as &lt;em&gt;Matricaria chamomilla, Aloe vera, &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em&gt;Curcuma longa&lt;/em&gt; were used to alleviate symptoms of eczema and psoriasis. Additionally, some plants were noted for their effects on other diseases, such as &lt;em&gt;Ephedra alata&lt;/em&gt; for cancer treatment. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The inventory of medicinal plant species reported in this study demonstrates the richness of traditional knowledge in the Sahara region. Some species, particularly those without prior pharmacological documentation, may serve as promising candidates for future drug discovery.&lt;/p&gt;

Al-Quran is one of the best reference books describing the importance of plants for medical benefits. There are 28 chapters (Surah) which mention specific name of plants in Al-Qur`an. This paper aims to compile the up-to-date information about some medicinal plants that mentioned in Al-Qur`an. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Comprehensive and detailed information about plants has been collected from Ayat and Surah in the Qur'an which states the specific name of the plant. Plant identities are arranged in a systematic sequence of confirmed botanical names from literature such as books, journal articles, and online databases, followed by Indonesian names, English names, families, references from the Qur'an, parts used, chemical content, And medicinal properties. The pharmacological claims of plants mentioned in the Qur'an, enriched by the search for scientific evidence available in journals and books. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Based on the collected data, there are 27 plant species mentioned in Al-Qur`an. In this paper, plants species were arranged in a systematic order of identity of the plant, followed by Indonesian name, English name, Family, references cited from Holy Quran, Part used, Chemical constituents, and efficacy of herbal medicine that has been used both empirically and scientifically. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;In this paper, attempts have been made to compile up-to-date knowledge of 27 species medicinal plants mentioned in the Qur'an, which can be used as a quick reference guide for further studies in ethnobotany.&lt;/p&gt;
