made by SPSS 17.0 programme by using frequency, percentage and q-square tests. According
to the data, 44.1% of the students were obtained to use herbal treatment. Among
students; 70,0% stated that they believed in alternative treatment, 72,5% said that
the product they used had been good for themselves. The choiced herbal treatment
products by students were; products that strengthen the body and the immune system,
skin care products, hair care products, pain relief products, products for burn
treatment, essences for perfume, slimming products in order. The rates of herbal
treatment usage were found to be higher and statistically significant in the groups
which; found herbal treatment usage correct, saw the benefits of the treatment that
had already been used and were informed about the herbal treatment. It was determined
that the students did not investigate different effects or usage purposes of the
products they used. The unconscious use of herbal products can cause variety of
health problems. Due to their youngness and vocations it is important to determine
‘health services vocational high school students’ knowledge level about herbal and
alternative treatment. The purpose of this study was to determine the consciousness
about herbal treatment and the usage of herbal remedies by health services vocational
