Abstract:

 The Köyceğiz district of Muğla province is abundant in medicinal and aromatic plant diversity. This variety is thought to be the result of topographic and climatic factors. However, as a result of uncontrolled collection and overuse, the future of a significant part of medicinal plant species is in danger. As a result, the primary goal of the study is to record the herbal drugs used by the locals and to raise awareness about endangered species while taking into account the growing conditions. The opinions and suggestions of local people living in the Köyceğiz region about herbal products and their application in some diseases were examined in this study. The data was statistically evaluated using the Mann Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis tests because it did not have a normal distribution. As a result of the research, it was discovered that medicinal and aromatic plants, particularly thyme, sage, mountain tea, and linden plants grown in the region, are widely used in the treatment, and the oils of plants such as sweetgum and centaury are used in the treatment of wounds. Herbal treatment was determined to be the first method used by participants in cases of discomfort such as cold, cough, wound treatment, and pain relief.

 Muğla ili Köyceğiz ilçesi tıbbi ve aromatik bitki çeşitliliği yönünden oldukça zengindir. Bu çeşitliliğin topoğrafik ve iklimsel özeliklerin bir ürünü olduğu düşünülmektedir. Ancak, kontrolsüz bir şekilde yapılan toplama ve aşırı faydalanmalar sonucunda tıbbi bitki türlerinin önemli bir bölümünün geleceği tehlike altına girmiştir. Bu nedenle, gerek yöre insanının kullandığı bitkisel drogların kayıt altına alınması gerekse yetiştirme koşulları göz önünde bulundurularak nesli tehlikede olan türlerin kültüre alınmasına yönelik farkındalığın artırılması çalışmanın ana amacı olmuştur. Bu çalışmada, Köyceğiz yöresinde yaşayan yerel halkın bitkisel ürünler ve bu ürünlerin bazı hastalıklardaki uygulama şekline yönelik görüş ve önerileri incelenmiştir. Elde edilen veriler normal dağılım göstermemesi sebebiyle Mann Whitney U testi ve Kruskal Wallis testleri ile istatiksel olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda tıbbi ve aromatik bitkilerin yöre halkı tarafından tedavide yaygın bir şekilde kullanıldığı, özellikle yörede yetişen kekik, adaçayı, dağ çayı ve ıhlamur bitkilerini demleme şeklinde sığla yağı, kantaron gibi bitkileri ise yaraların tedavisinde kullandıkları belirlenmiştir. Soğuk algınlığı, öksürük, yara tedavisi ve ağrı giderici gibi rahatsızlık durumlarında katılımcıların ilk başvurdukları yöntemin bitkisel tedavi olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
