Selendi is one of the districts that Manisa is far from the center, with little cultural changes, closely connected to its traditions. Therefore, it is seen that traditional treatments are widely applied. When a person in Selendi’s villages is discomforted, he prefers the methods of treatment he sees from his ancestors before he goes to the doctor. The patient goes to the doctor first after trying the traditional methods of treatment or applying to the traditional methods in cases where modern medicine cannot find a remedy. The first people appear to be referred to to in January or to public doctors for other reasons. These are mainly economic reasons, uneducation, witnessing the healing of the disease in the surrounding areas, and some diseases are used by public medicine methods, depending on causes such as modern medicine and the uncertainty of the doctor. January culture is an important tradition that has been translated from generation to generation to today. In the area of Selendi, healing for patients is quite common. The locals identified in the district, as they deal with the treatment of a single disease, sometimes they do the treatment of several diseases. The source and field research we have done has shown that there are a lot of people who are actively supplied in the area of Selendi. Therefore, it is determined by the field study which diseases they treat.
