The subjects in this study were the people of Sumber Makmur Village with a sample limit of 50 informants to be interviewed. This study uses 2 types of data sources, namely primary and secondary data. Data were collected through observation, interviews and documentation. Qualitative data were analyzed in 3 stages, namely reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions, while quantitative data were analyzed using the ICS formula. The results of the research show that there are 36 types of medicinal plants which are grouped into 23 families, with the most plant species from the Zingiberaceae family, namely 8 plant species. The most widely used part of the plant is the leaf. Medicinal plants can be processed in several ways, namely boiled, grated, mashed, dried, brewed and burned by means of usage, namely drinking, dripping, smeared and used for bathing.
