Ageratum conyzoides was the only plant used in HIV/AIDS disease. Mode of preparation, dosage regimen, plant(s) and part(s) used are reported. The importance of this kind of documentation in research and bio-conservation are discussed. Key Words: Ethno-medicine, Igede, Nigeria, extracts, ailments. Afr. J. Trad. CAM (2005) 2 (2): 134-152
