    The objective of this research was to identify the relationship between the medicinal use of Peperomia congona Sodiro leaves ("Congona") and inflammatory processes among users of a medicinal plant market in Lima, 2022. Method: This is a cross-sectional study with a descriptive-correlational, non-experimental scope and a quantitative, basic, hypothetical-deductive approach, with a sample of 384 users. Data collection was conducted using a survey with a questionnaire as the instrument, and the data obtained were processed using SPSS version 25. Results: Among the 384 users surveyed, 51.3% were female, 51.0% were over 49 years old, 49.2% had a secondary education level, and 63.0% belonged to the middle socioeconomic class. Additionally, 70.8% obtained the medicinal plant through recommendations from family, friends, or neighbors and used its leaves for pain and inflammation. A total of 266 (69.3%) prepared the Congona leaves as an infusion, and 272 (70.8%) administered them orally and topically. Regarding inflammatory processes, 128 (33.3%) of users used Congona leaves for otitis symptoms, 143 (37.2%) for gingivitis symptoms, and 187 (48.7%) for gastritis symptoms. Conclusions: A significant relationship was identified (p=0.000; p<0.05) with a moderate positive correlation (Spearman's Rho = 0.606) between the medicinal use of Peperomia congona Sodiro leaves ("Congona") and inflammatory processes among users of a medicinal plant market in Lima, 2022.
