Study based on the pharmacological toxicology of Lamiaceae plants, Artemisia, Plantago major L, and psyllium in Morrocco

Abstract

Absinthe, or Artemisia absinthium L, is a plant in the Asteraceae family (formerly Compositae). It is a biennial or perennial herbaceous species of wormwood that grows between 0.4 and 1 meter tall. The plant is covered in silky white and silvery hairs that create a kind of down, giving it an ash-gray look. Its rhizome is tough. In southern Morocco, obesity is seen as essential for Sahrawi women because it reflects being raised in a wealthy household and makes them attractive to men who mainly look for a woman of noble lineage and a voluptuous figure; abdominal obesity is very common. Remember, obesity is considered important for Sahrawi women as it signifies a wealthy upbringing, making them desirable to men who primarily seek a woman of noble lineage and a plump figure. Plantaginaceae use: While Lamiaceae is often dominant, Plantago species from the Plantaginaceae family, such as Plantago major or Plantago ovata, are recognized.

Keywords: Obesite, Artemisia absinthium L, Lamiaceae, Plantaginaceae, alpha-Thujone, Brassicaceae.
