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;

The disease became a pandemic in December 2019. Impaired immune modulation is one of the processes implicated in its pathogenesis, which contributes to poor COVID-19 outcomes. Many investigations have been conducted using medication to control coronaviral infections as antiviral agents or immunomodulators. The results of these tests, however, demonstrated that these medications were useless in fighting the disease. Some people believe that using herbal immunomodulators can aid in the prevention or even curing of COVID-19. Based on prior research, in the management of COVID-19, several botanicals may be useful. We go over the patient attitude and benefits of using such herbal remedies in the regimen of treating COVID-19 in Jordan.&lt;/p&gt;
