various diseases in Turkey.The folk remedies prepared with
these plants from which treatment and how they used have
been reached to day-to-day by transferring the generations.
Ethnobotanic researches and traditional treatment methods
are recorded and it is aimed to contribute to drug development
studies.In this study, which was prepared by screening of
ethnobotanical researches, 221 taxa which used in traditional
treatment against stomachache in Turkey are reached and the
scientific , local names, families, used parts of these taxa and
the forms used in stomachache were compiled. According to the
research done, families that are commonly used for stomachache
are Lamiaceae (59 taxa), Asteraceae (28 taxa), Rosaceae (14
taxa), Apiaceae (12 taxa), Hypericaceae (8 taxa) and Fabaceae (7
taxa). The main reason why these family plants are used against

treatment are herba, leaf, flower, fruit, root and seed. The parts
used may be prepared as decoction or infusion in the form of
tea, eaten fresh or after being cooked, or by mixing with honey;
