The research method used a qualitative research method with a phenomenological research design. The research participants were the king of Boti and one people of the Boti tribe. The results showed that unlike most of the people of East Nusa Tenggara, the practice of naketi by the Boti Tribe was done to heal an illness. The Boti tribe's belief in nature makes them to do naketi by using natural spices for the healing process. In addition, the naketi tradition of the Boti tribe is centered on the King of Boti who leads the naketi tradition.
