Abstract
A cross-sectional analytical design was set up to collect data about medicinal plants’ use through a Google Forms survey. Out of the 16,379 individuals surveyed in Honduras, treatment for anxiety and dermatological problems was more frequent at an older age. Treatments for symptoms of fever, cough, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and joint pain were more common at an older age and those residing in rural areas received treatment for asthmatic problems. The population chose the use of medicinal plants as an alternative for the treatment of symptoms or illnesses due to economic factors or limited access to health-care service.
