    The present research was conducted with the objective of “Identifying the use of Borago officinalis L. (borage) as an alternative treatment for respiratory system conditions among the inhabitants of Maynay-Huanta-Peru-2023.” The methodology corresponds to a descriptive study, with a quantitative approach and a non-experimental design. The sample size consisted of 254 inhabitants. The data collection technique was a survey, applied through a questionnaire with 22 items, structured on a Likert-type scale. Results: Sociodemographic data showed that 50.4% of the inhabitants were male, and 30.3% were in the 26–35 age range, with 40.9% having completed secondary education. Regarding medicinal use, 52.8% reported using borage sometimes; for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic effects, 60.2% reported sometimes; for common cold, 54.3% reported sometimes; for asthma, 61.4% reported never; for bronchial infections, 55.1% reported sometimes. The most commonly used parts of the plant were leaves (28.3%) and stems (30.3%), with 31.5% reporting always preparing it as an infusion. Conclusion: Most inhabitants do not place significant importance on the use of borage as a medicinal plant to counteract respiratory disease symptoms, even though it is a natural remedy that may represent an alternative treatment to pharmacotherapeutic care.
