Abstract

An investigation on the indigenous uses of plants for primary health care of mothers and children was carried out in the Transkei region of Eastern Province, South Africa. Medicinal uses of 27 plants identified to species level were recorded. In spite of western influence, the people of Transkei still believe in the efficacy of herbal medicines, and use these traditional remedies currently.
