Introduction
Our ancestors in Africa have always dealt with the use of plants and their various parts for the treatment of various diseases and for harmful purposes such as poisons. In general, plants in folk medicine and as local remedies against common diseases are used worldwide. Medicinal plants in particular have been used as a remedy for human diseases for centuries because they contain components of therapeutic value (Okoli et al., 2009). Folk medicine led to traditional medical systems in various diseases. Diodia Scandens SW has an enormous usefulness and meaning (Essietett et al., 2011).

to Essiett et al. (2010). Diodia Scandens SW (Rubiaceae) is an evergreen multi -year herb that has an alternative leaf arrangement, sheet steal is available. It has merged leaves, egg -shaped to lanceolate, reticulated venation, all in the edge, its tip is pointed, its base is cuneat, it has a bald surface and its texture is chartecous.

used
In general, the medical value of the plants includes use as an antidote (toxic stitches, bites, etc.), pain relievers, treatment of venereal diseases as well as cutaneous and subcutaneous fungal infections. However, the different parts of the plant juice, the leaf, stem and the root are used for various medical purposes. The sheet is used to treat arthritis, rheumatism, cutaneous and subcutaneous parasitic infections, diarrhea, Ruhr and anti-abortums. The sheet plus roots are used for water addiction, swelling, edema and gout as well as lactation stimulants. During the juice to treat ear infections, paralysis, epilepsy, cramps, cramps and lung problems.
Photochemical properties
In recent years, secondary plant metabolites - so -called photochemicals - have been examined in detail as a drug. Studies that were carried out on some plants show that some plants contain many substances such as peptides, tannins, alkaloids, essential oils, phenols and flavonoids that could serve as sources for antimicrobial production (Okoli et al., 2009). D. Scandens contains no alkaloids, flavonoids, phobotannine and anthrachinone. However, there are saponins that have anti -inflammatory, yeast -free, mushroom inhibiting, parasitic, tumor inhibiting, antiviral and abortive effects. Tannins that have astringent and cleaning properties were also available and can be used for diarrhea. According to Essiet et al. (2011) the photochemistry of the Blatte extract resulted in the presence of saponins, tannins, heart glycosides and the lack of flavenoids, phlobatannins, alkaloids and anthrachinons.antimicrobial properties
d. Scandens also has antimicrobial properties, of which much is not yet known or documented. It is used in some places in Nigeria to treat cutaneous and subcutaneous fungal infections. In this process, the juice is pushed out of the entire plant, freshly collected and the liquid is applied to the infected skin by scrubbing. If this is often done for about 3 to 5 days, the antifungal effect can be seen. This is true with the report by Essiett et al. (2011), who stated that the leaves in Nigeria are used to heal eczema that are a fungal infection.
