Bu örnekler ‘Flora of Turkey and the East Aegean Islands’ (Davis, 1965-1985; Davis ve ark., 1988; Güner ve ark., 2000) adlı eserden faydalanılarak teşhis edilmiş ve Latince adları saptanmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırma yöresinden toplanan 165 adet bitki örneğinin teşhis edilmesi sonucunda 93 taksonun geleneksel halk ilacı olarak kullanıldığı belirlenmiştir. Bunlar içerisinden 91’ i yabani, 2’ si ise yörede kültürü yapılan bitkilerdir. Bu taksonlar ve tedavide yer alan yöresel kullanılışları metinde belirtilmiştir. Sonuç: Sonuç olarak, yörede kaydedilen bitkilerden en çok yara tedavisinde, soğuk algınlığında, sakinleştirici ve yorgunluk giderici olarak, şeker hastalığında, ishale karşı ve ağrı kesici olarak yararlanıldığı saptanmıştır.
