Tumbuhan yang digunakan untuk mengobati penyakit disebut tumbuhan obat. Di seluruh dunia tumbuhan obat telah digunakan selama ribuan tahun untuk menyembuhkan dan mencegah berbagai macam penyakit. Tanaman obat juga dikenal dengan nama apotek hidup yang dipergunakan untuk pertolongan pertama dan juga sangat penting terutama bagi keluarga yang tidak memiliki akses mudah ke pelayanan medis. Obat tradisional memiliki peran yang sangat besar dalam pelayanan kesehatan masyarakat. Alasan lebih ekonomis dan sedikitnya efek samping yang ditimbulkan dari obat tradisional, menjadikan tumbuhan obat masih tetap diminati oleh masyarakat meskipun pengobatan modern telah berkembang hingga ke daerah terpencil. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui jenis, cara pemanfaatan, bagian dari tumbuhan yang digunakan, dan cara perolehan oleh masyarakat di kecamatan Kuala Batee Kabupaten Aceh Barat Daya. Pada penelitian ini metode wawancara yang digunakan untuk mendapatkan informasi yang dibutuhkan menggunakan Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) dan penentuan desa yang akan diperoleh datanya ditentukan menggunakan teknik purposive sampling, dan pemilihan responden menggunakan teknik snowball sampling.

Plants that are used to treat diseases are called medicinal plants. Throughout the world medicinal plants have been used for thousands of years to cure and prevent various diseases.
