The society in the village of Payudan Dundang, Guluk-guluk sub-district, Sumenep still relied on plants as medicine to treat various types of diseases, particularly as herbal ingredients for postpartum mothers in order to expedite the healing process. This study aimed to identify the species of plants used for this purpose, determine the specific parts utilized, as well as explore the management and utilization of these traditional medicinal plants for postpartum mothers. This study employed a qualitative research design, utilizing interviews as the primary method of data collection. The collected data was then analyzed descriptively and grouped in tabular form.
