Abstract
Background and Aim: Recognition of medicinal plants is as old as human culture. Since the beginning of human societies, the use of herbs as a medicine has been common. Given the country's rich historical and cultural history, there is great potential in this area and locals have learned and applied such knowledge throughout their long lives in Iran.
Methods: This study was conducted to determine the interest and knowledge of local people about using native medicinal herbs in Jubon village. The research method was descriptive-analytical and survey and the main research instrument was a researcher-made questionnaire. Its content validity was confirmed by experts and its reliability was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha test of 0.933.
Ethical Considerations: In this study, criteria concerned with moral principles as confidentiality, personal satisfaction and freedom of participants in cooperation or non-cooperation during the study process have been observed.
Results: The results showed that locals are interested in the use of medicinal plants and always prefer the use of medicinal herbs and especially natural herbs over chemical drugs. Also, the perception of people born or living in different neighborhoods of the village was different from the native medicinal plants.
Conclusion: It can be concluded that rural people can always take care and prevent disease by using medicinal plants in their feed and foods.
