IntroductionTurkey has a rich floristic diversity and cultural heritage. Even though many scientific studies have explored the usage of wild plants for the purpose of treatment, foodstuff, or others, efforts carried out in this field are not adequate in documenting this kind of information because of the large surface area of the country and the richness of cultural heritage. In particular, factors such as increased migration from rural areas to urban areas, urbanization, increased coverage of health services, easier accessibility to transportation, and current improvements in technology have gradually reduced the need for ethnobotanical information. Consequently, due to insufficient documentation and the reluctance of new generations to convey such knowledge, this wealth of wisdom is vanishing day by day. Therefore, it would be useful to try various alternative ways and carry out similar studies so as to have access to these data.Folk medicine in the Black Sea region of Turkey has been investigated by several research groups

Bayat rugs weaved with different madders can be used without fading their colors almost 100 years. The study aimed to record how to get madder by traditional methods from local plants, give stories of rug motives and present an overview of the medicinal uses of dyes plants collected in Afyonkarahisar, Inner-West Anatolia, Turkey. The study was conducted in both 11 villages and downtown of Bayat borough of Afyonkarahisar in 2013-2014. A total 150 women, aged between 17-25, were interviewed and observations were photographed. The rugs are completely 100% sheep wool and strings for weaving prepared traditionally by special spinning methods. The used plants to obtain the madders were determined. It was understood that in early August and September, plants give better colors and tones. These plants have also been used for medicinal purposes by the locals. Bayat people get non-fading colors from 11 plants (Allium cepa L., Berberis crataegina L., Papaver rhoeas, Papaver somniferum L., Malva silvestris L., Morus nigra L., Cistus laurifolius L., Quercus ithaburensis Decne. subsp. macrolepis (Kotschy) Hedge et Yalt, Rubia tinctorum L., Juglans regia L., Indigofera tinctoria L.) belonged to ten families. The plant organs used are root, shell, cupula, leaf, young shoot, and aerial parts of the plants. A natural mud is also used as alum in this region that provides to create dark colors, and prevents mixing the colors. It also inhibits fading the colors in the rugs' texture. It was also recorded that different motives in Bayat Rugs have also interesting historical stories.
