An ethnopharmacological survey was used to compare the medicinal plants most frequently recommended by herbalists, naturopaths, and other traditional practitioners in Moroccan and Canadian socioeconomic settings. Striking differences in traditional pharmacopoeias were noted between Morocco and the Canadian province of Quebec, with only one plant, garlic (Allium sativum), on both lists of the top 20 most frequently recommended plants.
