    This methodological study aimed to determine the use of mallow (Malva sylvestris L.) as a non-pharmacological treatment among the inhabitants of the district of Villa El Salvador, Lima Metropolitana, 2023. A methodology with a quantitative approach, basic type, deductive method, non-experimental design, cross-sectional cut, and descriptive level was applied. The study sample consisted of 385 users who attended the “Biofarma Perú” pharmacy in Villa El Salvador during 2023, selected non-probabilistically by convenience. Participants were evaluated through a survey assessing the use of Malva sylvestris L. as a non-pharmacological treatment. Results: Regarding therapeutic alternatives, the plant presented pharmacological benefits with favorable reactions to its secondary metabolite (mucilages), especially for internal gastrointestinal and respiratory problems, with frequent and continuous use. Its pharmacological benefits were varied and highly effective, acting as an anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, analgesic, anesthetic, sedative, healing, laxative, and in some cases even anti-ulcer treatment. Conclusion: It was found that 60.1% of users had low knowledge, 26.9% had medium knowledge, and only 13.0% had high knowledge. Therefore, it is suggested to carry out awareness campaigns about the use of mallow among users attending the “Biofarma Perú” pharmacy in Villa El Salvador during 2023.
