Turkey is one of the richest countries in
the world in terms of flora with its extraordinary plant diversity. Its flora
consists of about 10,000 vascular plants and approximately one third of them
(34.4 %) are endemic to the country. In recent years, the use of ethnobotanical
information obtained from medicinal plant research has gained attention all
around the world. For this reason, numerous ethnobotanical studies have
recently been published and much has been written about medicinal plants in our
country. This study deals with 133 taxa used in traditional treatments against
diarrhea in Turkey and it aims to give information about scientific and local
names of these taxa, families, used parts and usage in diarrhea.
