Objectives of the study: The Assessment of hygienic quality is an essential step in the production and marketing of traditional medicine products using plant species that constitute a vast reserve of active ingredients that can be used to cure many diseases. Our study had the objective to assess the hygienic quality of some herbal medicines in order to identify the microbiological risk associated with the consumption of these Togolese traditional medicine products sold on the markets of the municipality of Lomé and that treat the DS. Materials and Methods: We collected 90 antidiabetic recipes sold in the maritime region. Search germ was made by routine standardized methods of the French Association for Standardization (AFNOR). Results: Revenues are in the form of mixture containing honey, decoctions, tinctures of, charred, herbal teas, capsules. Decoctions represent 56.17% followed by followed tinctures (16.67%). The results of the study of the hygienic quality of herbal medicines indicate the presence of total bacteria, total coliform, yeast (Candida albicans) and fungi (Aspergillus Niger, Aspergillus flavus, Mucor sp. Et Géothricum sp.). The majority of these phytomédicamensts are unfit for consumption because of the total germs that were more isolated. Conclusion: The use of traditional herbal medicines therefore carries risks of toxiinfection for consumers. A greater awareness must be made to educate traditional healers and herbal medicines sellers on good hygiene practices, preparation and storage of their products.
