Plants possess therapeutic properties thanks to the different secondary metabolites that are stored in them and constitute a large reservoir. In front of the recurring problems of breast cancer, an investigation on these medicinal plants could allow the development of new biomolecules which would be an alternative against breast cancer. It is within this framework that this study consists in identifying the recipes of medicinal plants used in the treatment of this pathology by traditional health practitioners in the cities of Fada N'Gourma, Bobo-Dioulasso, Boromo and Dédougou. A survey form was used to collect sociodemographic and ethnobotanical data. The approach used to conduct the survey was a semi-structured individual interview in the local language and snowballing. As results of the ethnobotanical study, we identified 52 species divided into 29 families used in 70 recipes by traditional healers. Barks are the most used organs (41.42%), the most used method of preparation is powder (47.14%). Male tradipraticians largely dominate women. Of these respondents, 114 traditional healers agreed to contribute to the study. The majority of respondents were between 40 and 70 years old. The study made it possible to select a recipe consisting of two medicinal plants that will be subjected to phytochemical and pharmacological investigations.
