Berseba, Bayugan City use different plants in their surroundings, utilizing various parts of them including leaves, stems, roots, fruits, and rhizome, which are also found to be similar practices observed in this study. Based on the responses and observations, the common ailments that are treated using medicinal plants are stomachache, fever, cough, diarrhea, hypertension, and arthritis. As the access to modern healthcare is limited, the majority of the people in Brgy. Berseba, Bayugan City still resorts to traditional healthcare practices although some use both traditional and modern medicine.
