This study aimed to listthe medicinal plants used as an appetite
suppressant in Hauts-Bassins areas of Burkina Faso.An ethnobotanical survey was undertaken fromSeptember
to November 2021 using a semi-structured questionnaire. To determine well-known families and species, some indices such as
Family Importance Value (FIV) and Relative Frequency of Citation (RFC) were
calculated respectively. Sixty-seven traditional healers (41 men and 26
women)have been interviewed. The age group from 41 to 60 years old was more
represented (47.76%).Fifty-eight (58) plant species belonging
to 29 families and 53 genera
were recorded to have appetite suppressant properties. Fabaceae family
(25%) was the most mentioned followed by Combretaceae (12%). The most mentioned
species were Guierasenegalensis(7.64%), Parkiabiglobosa(6.18%), Annona senegalensis and Gardenia erubescens(5.35% for both).Leaves andfruits had the highest frequencies of use with 41%
