Abstract
The success of medicinal plants domestication programme will avoid further depletion of these resources to meet the demand of raw materials for the herbal industries. But there are also negative impacts attached to the domestication process of medicinal plants. Metals are probably the oldest toxins known to man. A total of 21 samples of 6 different commonly used medicinal plants were collected from domesticated and forested wild plant area. The main objective of this study is to monitor the impact of domestication of medicinal plants on plant quality in terms of heavy metal content. The determination of As Pb and Cd were done using the graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometer AAS equipment while the determination of Ni Cr Cu and Zn were done using atomic absorption spectrophotometer AAS.
