Relevancia de la etnofarmacología. la creencia en el mal de ojo está difundida entre diferentes culturas. A pesar de que tanto las enfermedades y sus tratamientos pueden implicar daños a las personas y sus bienes, se ha prestado poca atención a la intervención mediante enfoques basados en la medicina tradicional práctica, en gran parte desprovistos de evidencia científica. Objetivo. El objetivo del estudio fue identificar y documentar las especies de plantas medicinales usadas para gestionar el mal de ojo en Kemera. Materiales y métodos. Se hizo un estudio transversal con un cuestionario para recabar los datos de veinte y cuatro informantes clave que aceptaron participar en el estudio. Resultados. Dieciocho especies de plantas fueron identificadas para diverso tratamientos del "mal de ojo" en Kemera. La mayoría de las plantas (17%) pertenecían a la familia Solanaceae, seguida por las Asteraceae, Lamiaceae, y Rubiaceae, que en conjunto representaron el 11% de las plantas utilizadas. La parte más comúnmente usada de las plantas fue de la hoja (69%), y las plantas autóctonas representaron el 78% de la colección total. En cuanto al tratameinto de las plantas, el 56% se prepararon en forma de ceniza (35%) o como cataplasmas (30%), con la ceniza se preparan tomas por vía oral y las cataplasmas se aplican a la piel. Entre las especies vegetales populares incluidas están: Fuerstia africana, Iresine herbastii, Rubia cordifolia, Bryophyllum pinnatum, Clematis brachiata, Micromelia imbricata, y Clutia abyssinica. Conclusiones. Las personas Abagusii de Kemera utilizan implícitamente prácticas socioculturales, habilidades y conocimientos para abordar los síntomas del "mal de ojo" y restaurar la salud. Dado que el concepto del mal de ojo se remonta a la antigüedad y está presente a través de diversos grupos culturales, es fundamental asignar los recursos hacia investigación que pueda proporcionar datos científicos para validar las prácticas utilizadas en la medicina complementaria para gestionar estas enfermedades.
