A multistage sampling technique was employed to sample 60 respondents. Data were obtained with the aid of structured questionnaire. The data were subjected to descriptive (percentages and frequency) and inferential, chi-Square, statistics.

Also, 35% of respondents were between ages of 30 - 39 years with majority (65%) of the respondents married while 47% of the respondents had primary school certificate.

The findings revealed that Aloe barbandensis miller (L) Burm is used for treating convulsion, malaria, burns, inflammation, pimple, eczema and skin rash in the agrarian community. It is therefore recommended that the plant should be planted by every household for easy accessibility.
