Sažetak
Because of the diverse climate in Croatia, it has been recorded a large number of medicinal and aromatic species (herbs). In recent times, regardless of the place of residence, inhabitants are increasingly turning to a healthier lifestyle and the use of medicinal herbs, and therefore today there are many products placed on the market but of different quality based on the latter on. The aim of this study was to test attitudes and behaviour related to the use of medicinal plants and herbal products of the Klis area. The results showed that Klis inhabitants possess mediocre knowledge about the usage of medicinal herbs. They consider that treatment with natural preparations is effective, and they get the most information about the use of medicinal herbs through friends and the Internet. Generally, they do not collect plants in nature, and the most consumed are teas and other preparations. This preliminary research can be exploited for the more extensive research on a given topic, when introducing and popularizing new products on the market.
