The study focuses on an inventory of medicinal plants with an ethnobotanical survey carried out in the Ath Voughardane (Assi-Youcef) municipality in the Tizi-Ouzou department. Important information on medicinal plants has been provided and all information concerning the therapeutic uses practiced by the local population is gathered using 439 questionnaires distributed to 77 people in the region. Most people who have knowledge of herbal medicine are aged 50 and over and the majorities are women. We managed to inventory 120 species, belonging to 49 families, including the Asteraceae ranked first with 15 species. The analysis of the results showed that most of the plants listed are used for healing, using in the majority of cases the leaves which constitute the most used organ of the plant, prepared mainly by decoction and administered orally.
