Abstract: The study of plants traditionally used to treat dysmenorrhoea in the city of Daloa was carried out in three markets in the town. To obtain the information, ethnobotanical surveys based on free lists were carried out with medicinal plant traders. These investigations resulted in the identification of 11 plants. Three of these plants are well known and widely used. These are Terminalia superba (FC = 77.78%; VU = 1.63), Parkia biglobosa and Xylopia aethiopia (FC = 66.67%; VU = 1.57). This study reveals that plants mentioned are mostly sought after for their bark and fruit. Our investigations revealed that the various plant parts are used to prepare several medicinal recipes. The most frequently mentioned preparation method is decoction. Most recipes are used as drinks.
