This study aims to review the food potential of Chromolaena Odorata L. in overcoming health problems. This literature study was obtained from analysis of library sources such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct. The results show that Chromolaena Odorata L. could be processed into food or drink used to treat health problems such as wound healing, skin infections, stomach problems, and others.
