The emergence of obesity and diabetes in Ivory Coast due to changes in the population’s lifestyle led us to conduct this study. Ivorian flora abounds in many plants with pharmacological properties. Through this study, we want to find the plants that were best suited to treat both obesity and diabetes. We have found eighteen (18) plant species used for the treatment of diabetes and ten (10) for the treatment of obesity. Among these plants, two of them were the most indicated for the treatment of diabetes, it is Picralima nitida and Catharantus roseus. Similarly for obesity is Cassia senna which was most appropriate. However, it is Moringa oleifera and Phyllanthus amarus that have been mentioned for the treatment of both obesity and diabetes. The Moringa oleifera is used as a dietary supplement. Our study shows that the Moringa oleifera can be recommended for the treatment of diabetes and obesity.

The emergence of obesity and diabetes in Ivory Coast due to changes in the population’s lifestyle led us to conduct this study. Ivorian flora abounds in many plants with pharmacological properties. Through this study, we want to find the plants that were best suited to treat both obesity and diabetes. We have found eighteen (18) plant species used for the treatment of diabetes and ten (10) for the treatment of obesity. Among these plants, two of them were the most indicated for the treatment of diabetes, it is Picralima nitida and Catharantus roseus. Similarly for obesity is Cassia senna which was most appropriate.

Abstract: (french)
L’émergence de l’obésité et du diabète en Côte d’Ivoire due au changement du mode de vie des populations nous a amené à mener cette étude. La flore ivoirienne regorge de beaucoup de plantes aux propriétés pharmacologiques. A travers cette étude, nous voulons trouver les plantes qui étaient les mieux indiquées pour traiter à la fois l’obésité et le diabète. Nous avons identifié dix-huit (18) espèces végétales utilisées pour le traitement du diabète et dix (10) pour le traitement de l’obésité. Parmi ces plantes deux pantes ont été les plus indiquées pour le traitement du diabète, ce sont Picralima nitida et Catharantus roseus. De même pour l’obésité, c’est Cassia senna qui été la plus indiquée. Cependant, c’est Moringa oleifera et Phyllantus amarus qui ont été citées pour le traitement de l’obésité et du diabète. La Moringa oleifera est utilisée comme complément alimentaire. Notre étude permet de dire que la Moringa oleifera peut être préconisée pour le traitement du diabète et de l’obésité.
