This data collection technique is also used to explore knowledge systems regarding the diversity of types of traditional medicinal plants, management methods, their use, and community interest in medicinal plants using medicinal plants. Then it is enriched through secondary data in research, namely books / literature related to health, medicinal plants, journals, and other readings related to research. Based on the results of the interview, the names of medicinal plants commonly used in the community are obtained, including: Shallots (Allium cepa var.
