Abstract
Many individuals residing in the Tualang District cultivate various medicinal plants; however, a significant portion of the population lacks awareness regarding the specific types and associated therapeutic properties. In general, only parents possess this knowledge. Therefore, further research is necessary to explore the variety and advantages of medicinal plants. The primary objective of this research is to categorize different varieties of therapeutic flora, their advantages, methods of application, and techniques for cultivation within the Tualang District. This research was carried out utilizing a survey methodology, employing various data collection methods, including interviews, and identifying and documenting medicinal plants. The study involved conducting observations and collecting data on the various types of medicinal plants, their associated benefits, methods of utilization, and cultivation practices as practiced by the residents of Tualang District. The data analysis in this research employed quantitative descriptive and qualitative descriptive methods. The information is displayed in tabular format. The research findings demonstrated that the respondents in Tualang District utilized and cultivated 41 different types of medicinal plants. Participants employed different methods to use medicinal plants. Participants cultivated medicinal plants through stem cuttings, rhizome cuttings, grafting, and direct seed planting. Medicinal plants are maintained through various agricultural practices, including watering, weeding, hilling, fertilizing, and implementing measures to control pests and diseases.
