Various ethnic groups, including the Sangihe ethnic group and the Mongondow ethnic group, still use weed as an ingredient in traditional medicine. Weeds are wild plants defined as nuisance plants because they interfere with farmers' activities in cultivating crops and can reduce crop production. Apart from disturbing cultivated plants, weeds can be used as medicinal raw materials. Many types of weeds are used by the community as traditional medicine. Certain types of weed have been developed in the form of industrial-scale medicines. These weed species include Peperomia pellucida (L.), Cyperus rotundus L., Heliotropium indicum L., Eleusine indica (L.) Gaernt, Ageratum conyzoides L. The results of the research show that people in East Bolaang Mongondow Regency still use weed as a mixture of traditional medicinal ingredients.
