N2  - 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.
