Abstract: The paper presents data on the medical use of seaweeds in Bulgaria. The country borders the peculiar Black Sea, which does not contain typical marine algal flora. However, according to the ethnobiological literature, three marine macro algae have been used in Bulgarian folk medicine. Cystoseira barbata well known as the largest Bulgarian alga and a typical Black Sea representative.Its usage in the traditional medicine is quite logical, whereas for Chondrus crispus and Fucus vesiculosus, which do not occur in the Black Sea, it can be only speculated that they have been imported in the country for medical usage.
