Abstract

Ethnopharmacology is a scientific approach used to document traditional knowledge regarding the use of medicinal plants. The Dayak Tunjung Benuaq Tribe in Putak Village, East Kalimantan, Indonesia, continues to rely on herbal remedies for treating various ailments. This study aimed to identify plant species used, their therapeutic applications, and preparation methods. Data were collected through purposive and snowball sampling techniques, using semi-structured interviews with knowledgeable informants. Quantitative analysis was performed using Use Value (UV), Informant Consensus Factor (ICF), and Fidelity Level (FL). A total of 31 species from 19 families were recorded, including Carica papaya, Zingiber officinale, Psidium guajava, and Eleutherine bulbosa. Leaves were the most commonly used plant part (58%), most often prepared by boiling (93.6%) and administered orally (93.6%). C. papaya had the highest UV (0.23), while seven disease categories, such as malaria, fever, and joint pain, achieved perfect consensus (ICF = 1.0). Several species, including E. bulbosa and Syzygium polyathum, reached 100% FL, reflecting strong cultural preference for specific treatments. These findings emphasize the significance of traditional knowledge within the community, the need for documentation and preservation, and the potential of these plants for future pharmacological exploration and biodiversity conservation.
