Abstract

The Cuyo region has diverse landscapes; there are high mountain ranges, mountains, and valleys. Its vegetation is characteristic of an arid region with predominance of xerophilous plants. There are more than 150 species with folk medicinal uses described for this region. Among them, Aloysia gratissima (Gillies & Hook. ex Hook.) Tronc., Lippia integrifolia (Griseb.) Hieron., Minthostachys mollis, Acantholippia seriphioides (A. Gray) Moldenke, and Achyrocline satureioides (Lam.) DC. are described in this chapter with respect to their botanical characteristics, ethnomedical uses, chemicals, biological activity, toxicity, and establishment of in vitro cultures and legal status, when corresponding.
