Abstract

This research aimed to investigate people's knowledge, perceptions, and personal experiences about menengic coffee and bittim soap. Data were collected from 152 participants living in Siirt and Mardin between June 1 and September 15, 2021, through internet-based methods (email, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, etc.). Among those who use bittim soap or similar products, 16.4% reported daily usage. A significant portion (67.8%) of the participants consumed menengic coffee, with 46.7% acknowledging its health benefits. Regarding bittim soap, 83.6% confirmed its effectiveness for skincare, and 81.8% claimed that it helps hair growth. All respondents noted that menengic coffee effectively reduces blood pressure. Additionally, 67% reported its benefits for stomach issues, 50.5% for regulating blood sugar, 46.6% for skincare, 45.6% for easing respiratory discomfort, 45.6% as a diuretic, and 42.7% as an antiseptic. The findings showed that both products were largely viewed positively in terms of health benefits.
