Abstract

The diversity of medicinal plant species in Indonesia has been shaped by ethnic cultures and traditions passed down through generations. Each ethnic group utilizes distinct medicinal plant species tailored for specific ailments. This research aims to explore the ethnobotany of medicinal plants used by the Java-Tondano community in Ikhwan Village, West Dumoga District, Bolaang Mongondow Regency. The study was conducted from August to November 2021. Data collection involved identifying medicinal plant species, conducting in-depth interviews with five traditional healers, and documenting field observations. The findings reveal the presence of 58 medicinal plant species, with various plant parts utilized, including leaves, fruits, flowers, seeds, stems, sap, roots, rhizomes, tubers, shoots, and bark. These plants are used either individually or in combination for medicinal treatments. The preparation of medicinal plants often involves the recitation of the *Shalawat* prayer. The application methods include oral consumption, topical application, and compressing. These plants provide remedies for a wide range of health conditions, including cholesterol, hypertension, diabetes, low hemoglobin levels, vaginal discharge, rheumatism, wounds, fever, toothaches, insomnia, constipation, dizziness, broken bones, malaria, stamina enhancement, and postpartum blood pressure regulation.
