Schistosomiasis has debilitating symptoms that ultimately have negative implications for socioeconomic activities in endemic areas, making access to treatments critically important for long-term health. This thesis focuses on the importance of three rural plants and their medicinal uses for schistosomiasis in a rural Ugandan village. The plants known as Kisanasana, Lubilzi, and Niimu are locally used to treat intestinal symptoms of schistosomiasis and have been reported to have positive results.
