Aromatic and Medicinal Plants of Boğatepe
Boğatepe is one of Turkey’s rare regions in terms of plant diversity, characterized by its high-altitude plateaus, rich pasture flora, and the local community's lifestyle that is in harmony with nature. For many years, the work carried out in our village has encompassed not only traditional cheese production but also the conservation, utilization, and sharing of aromatic and medicinal plants.
Boğatepe is one of Turkey’s rare regions in terms of plant diversity, characterized by its high-altitude plateaus, rich pasture flora, and the local community's lifestyle that is in harmony with nature. For many years, the work carried out in our village has encompassed not only traditional cheese production but also the conservation, utilization, and sharing of aromatic and medicinal plants.
Projects such as the Boğatepe Village Life with Plants and Sustainability Project, which we have been conducting since 2007, have enabled the establishment of "herbal life gardens" led by women. These initiatives have contributed to the regional economy through the promotion and processing of medicinal and aromatic plants. The Kars-Susuz Region Medicinal Plants Project, carried out between 2013 and 2014, recorded the region's plant diversity and raised awareness among the local population regarding the use of these plants for health purposes.
As a result of these efforts, concrete outcomes like the Boğatepe Plant Drying Workshop were established. Through local drying and processing methods, plants are transformed into products such as teas, oils, and creams, integrating them into daily life and a sustainable local economy. Furthermore, for those interested in further reading, we highly recommend the book "Kars Bitkileri: Cilavuz Doğasından Bir Armağan" (Kars Plants: A Gift from the Nature of Cilavuz) and the report titled "Research Study on Medicinal Plants of Kars and Ardahan Provinces," both prepared with the support of our association.
