Abstract

An ethnobotanical survey was conducted among 31 local Arab practitioners living in Galilee, Negev, Golan Heights and West Bank. Seeing that the Arabic traditional medicine is in danger of disappearing, a multilevel program is required, involving the training of local practitioners, an establishment of a regional medicinal plant botanical garden and a field gene bank for plant preservation.
