Abstract:
The main goal of the work was to study immunomodulating and strengthening plants in the flora of Azerbaijan. The frequency of use (Ui) and the value of plant species relative to each other due to their immunomodulatory properties have been evaluated by new methods. The total amount of data submitted by the person providing for each specific species is marked as Ni. The result of the ratio of immunomod- ulators have been shown in the diagram: the highest IQ (assessment of use) was found for Allium sp. and Thymus sp. (0.90-0.88), the next places are occupied by Rosa sp. (0.83), Salvia limbata (0.81), Altheae officinalis (0.80), Glycyrrhiza glabra (0.78), Mathricaria sp. (0.77), Humulus lupulus (0.74), Mentha sp. (0.60), Sitrus ssp. (0.27), Capsella burssa pastoris (0.21), Rumex sp. (0.18), Sambucus nigra and Heli- chrysum plicatum (each by 0.15), Daucus carota, Urtica dioica and Asparagus officinalis (each by 0.10, the lowest IQ).
