The study which was conducted through semi-constructed questionnaire found a total of 47 species of plants from 36 families, 7 species of mushrooms from 5 families, and 12 species of animals from 10 families being utilized as medicines by the villagers. Among the ailments treated, hypertension was shown to be the most treated ailment utilizing 12 species of natural resources in total. The most utilized species of plant, mushroom, and animal by the Temuan in Ulu Kuang Village for medicine are Eurycoma longifolia, Lignosus rhinocerus, and Hystrix brachyura, respectively.
