Accordingly, they use the plants and herbs both for feeding their animals and for their health, as they know the species in nature well. As treatment methods, they use various mixtures which are produced in different ways and are prepared from the various parts of the plants such as roots, shells, seeds, resin and flowers. Those sometimes may be some plant-derived pomade or mushroom powder or treated resin. Especially, “püse”, a resin based important material used in almost all areas of treatment, is available in all Yoruk houses.
