Methodology: The survey was carried out using interview upon informed consent from the traditional healers.

Results: Fifty traditional healers (38 men and 12 women) were interviewed and data were stored onto a survey card. The results identified 48 plant species (32 families) that were used to prepare 72 recipes, including 40 recipes made from each individual plant species and 32 from plant species association. The most represented species were: Paullinia pinnata (11 times), Piper umbellatum (9 times), Raphia farinifera (9 times), Canarium schweinfurthii (7 times), Psidium guajava (6 times), Musa acuminata (6 times), Cola anomala (4 times), Hibiscus noldae (3 times), Elaeis guineensis (3 times), Eremomastax speciosa (3 times), Ocimum gratissimum (3 times) and Mangifera indica (3 times). Leaves and bark were the most used parts (36% and 16% respectively) in the treatment of haemorrhoids (internal or external). The number of associated plants ranged from two to five. The treatment was mainly administered orally, although certain administrations were done locally and most often depended on the recipe preparation.

Conclusion: This study revealed that Cameroonian flora is rich in anti-haemorrhoidal medicinal plant species. The results constitute a database for future studies for evaluating the biological and chemical potentials of these plants.
