abstract={<b>Objectives:</b> This study was carried out to assess effect of <i>Secamone afzelii</i> on lactation and perpetuate availability. <b>Methodology:</b> Sections of <i>Secamone afzelii</i> plants were cultured under natural conditions in the immediate environment and then observed for 7 days. The ethanol extract with or without ash of plant was administered orally to female rats at a dose of 225 mg/mL/kg bw, twice a day for 4 days. Then, the level of prolactin was measured in these animals. <b>Results:</b> The results of the cultivation technique of <i>Secamone af</i>zelii indicate a significant difference between stems with armpits and those without. The first mentioned produce buds unlike those without armpits. In addition, <i>Secamone afzelii</i> extract significantly increases the prolactin content in treated rats. The effect of the extract is potentiated by the ash of the same plant: the prolactin content in the rats treated with the extract + ash mixture is significantly higher than that of the rats treated only with the extract. <b>Conclusion:</b> It appears that the extract of <i>Secamone afzelii</i> (enriched or not in ash), would stimulate milk secretion in female rats. In addition, the cultivation techniques applied to this plant could promote its durability, availability and easy access.},
