This Study aimed to identify the top five medicinal herbs and their corresponding therapeutic uses. The study was conducted between 2 October To 30 December, 2024. A total of 35 samples were randomly selected to determine the importance of medicinal herbs and their uses. The results of the current study showed that the use of herbal medicine in treating diseases accounted for 63% of the total, compared to the use of modern medicine at 40%. Therefore, this provides hope for the use of medicinal herbs in treatment. We also find that patients are less aware of the side effects of natural medicines compared to those of chemical medicines, at 43%. Studies also confirm the possibility of using herbs to treat certain diseases at 38%, the extent of Libyan citizens' interest in using herbs for treatment at 54%, and the feasibility of treatment with herbal medicine compared to modern medicine at 60%. And to recognize the importance of treatment with natural herbs in treating some diseases, and to demonstrate the few side effects of herbal medicine compared to the side effects of chemical medicine and to emphasize the idea that natural medicine is the basis of chemical medicine, and that it has few side effects.
