The Atriplex halimus L, whose vernacular name in Algeria « Guettaf », is a widespread palnt in the Sidi Bel Abbes region in western of Algeria. It is a plant species of the Chenopodiaceae family, much in demand by the population of the wilaya of Sidi Bel Abbes for the treatment of the genitourinary system, the digestive tract and its annexes, the cardiovascular and respiratory system. It is even indicated as hypoglycemic in diabetics.
The objective of our study is an ethnobotanical investigation of the plant in question, where we will try to identify its common uses by the population of the region of Sidi Bel Abbes for healing purposes.
Keywords: Atriplex halimus L, Chenopodiaceae, Treatment, Diseases, Ethnobotanical investigation.
