    This study employed a deductive method and a quantitative approach, of a basic type, with a non-experimental, cross-sectional, and descriptive design, through the application of 80 surveys. Dimensions considered included the most commercially traded plants, plant parts, therapeutic uses, supplying regions, knowledge and training of the vendors, and the nature of the plants. Results: The most commercially traded plants were Matricaria chamomilla (43.8%), Valeriana officinalis (21.2%), and Eucalyptus globulus (15.0%). The most sold plant parts were the whole plant, the root, and the leaves. The conditions that most required these plants were nervous (27.5%), digestive (26.3%), and respiratory (15.0%). The region that supplied the most to the markets was the highlands. Knowledge was mostly ancestral, with the internet as a source. of consultation. They knew about interactions with medications, but not about toxicity. Most of the plants were wild and fresh. Conclusions: Sustainable policies and research incentives are needed to promote the responsible use of these resources, which are so widely traded in Lima's markets, maximizing their therapeutic potential.
