Abstract

As medicinal plants are suitable alternatives for synthetic and chemical drugsthey are also considered to be full of secondary metabolites (like essential oils, antibacterial, antifungal and other products). In addition, because of great variety of Lamiaceae, Asteraceae and Fabaceae families, plant species of these families were collected according to the classical method of regional floristical studies. Collected plants were recognized by valid references. Then medical species were chosen by using pharmacopeias. The results of current research demonstrated that 16 species among the Lamiaceae family belong to eight genera and all of them are medicinal plants and 21 species of Fabaceae family belong to 10 genera and nine of them have medicinal properties and finally among the Asteraceae family, 30 species belong to 23 genera and only 8 of them are considered to be medicinal plants. The results of this study showed that the region has a great potential for producing respective medicinal plants species belong to these families. Therefore it could be used for different medical and pharmaceutical uses.
