    The ethnopharmacological study integrates disciplines such as ethnobotany, chemistry, and pharmacology to scientifically investigate the therapeutic properties of natural products that were traditionally used or are currently applied to treat health problems such as gastrointestinal diseases, which are common among the population. The objective of this research was to describe how ethnopharmacological studies help identify the most commonly used medicinal plants by local residents and their effects on gastrointestinal diseases in Cajabamba, Cajamarca, Peru, 2023. The methodology used was basic type, descriptive level, and non-experimental cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 130 respondents.
