Herbalists in Nigeria use a variety of herbal remedies to treat various types of illness. Thirteen commonly used herbal plants [Aspilia latifolia, Spondius mombin, Ocimum viride, Euphorbia heterophylla, Discoglypremna caloneura, Pyrenacantha staudtii, Combretum racemosum, Dichopetalum barteri, Stephania dinklagei, Craterosiphon scandens, Anthocleista djalonensis, Sidia linifolia and Fagara lemairei] in the Anambra State of Nigeria were identified and collected. Extracts were prepared and studied pharmacologically on various isolated and intact preparations. Toxicological and phytochemical studies were conducted on most of these plants. The plants are used as abortifacients, purgatives, hypnotics and antidiarrheal and hemostatic agents. The ox, rat, rabbit and guinea pig were used.
