Multicomponent traditional medicine prescriptions are widely used in Ethiopia for disease treatment. However, inconsistencies across practitioners, cultures, and locations have hindered the development of reliable therapeutic medicines. Systematic analysis of traditional medicine data is crucial for identifying consistent and reliable medicinal materials. In this study, we compiled and analyzed a dataset of 505 prescriptions, encompassing 567 medicinal materials used for treating 106 diseases. Using association rule mining, we identified significant associations between diseases and medicinal materials. Notably, wound healing-the most frequently treated condition-was strongly associated with Rumex abyssinicus Jacq., showing a high support value. This association led to further in silico and network analysis of R. abyssinicus Jacq. compounds, revealing 756 therapeutic targets enriched in various KEGG pathways and biological processes. The Random-Walk with Restart (RWR) algorithm applied to the CODA PPI network identified these targets as linked to diseases such as cancer, inflammation, and metabolic, immune, respiratory, and neurological disorders. Many hub target genes from the PPI network were also directly associated with wound healing, supporting the traditional use of R. abyssinicus Jacq. for treating wounds. In conclusion, this study uncovers significant associations between diseases and medicinal materials in Ethiopian traditional medicine, emphasizing the therapeutic potential of R. abyssinicus Jacq. These findings provide a foundation for further research, including in vitro and in vivo studies, to explore and validate the efficacy of traditional and natural product-derived medicines.
