Abstract
The article addresses the relevant issue of self-harvesting medicinal plants as a form of hobby that holds significant potential for health promotion and the development of ecological culture. It analyzes contemporary scientific publications emphasizing the need for a responsible and informed approach to this practice, based on knowledge of botany and ecology, support from like-minded communities, and legislative regulation. It is noted that only a comprehensive combination of educational activities, social interaction, and legal control can ensure the safe use of medicinal plant raw materials, preserve biodiversity, and minimize health risks to humans. The article discusses the advantages and potential dangers of self-harvesting medicinal plants, making it an important contribution to the development of health-preserving technologies and sustainable natural resource management.
