Abstract
Folk medicine is quite common for primary health care in Bulgaria, and the tradition of
plant usage is of importance for the development of pharmaceutical formulations. The
objective of this study was to provide up-to-date information regarding trends in herbal
usage among citizens in the city of Plovdiv, Bulgaria. The study involved 114 respondents
for a period of 60 calendar days in 2018. Chamomile (Matricaria recutita L.) and thyme
(Thymus vulgaris L.) were the most popular plants among the respondents. The common
cold is the most frequent example for seeking herbals and other botanicals. Herbal teas are
most preferred when it comes to daily consumption. Answers also revealed plants used in
households; reasons for herbal consumption, and opinions on common statements
concerning herbal stereotypes.
