| Abstract: | An ethnomedicinal survey was carried out
during 2007-2009 to collect information on the use of medicinal plants from
herbal practitioners of Gond, Andh Kolam and Pradhan tribes of Kinwat
Forest range of Nanded district of Maharashtra. The tribes are mainly depending
upon forest flora for their livelihood and for curing the ailments and
diseases. A total of 25 ethnomedicinal plants have been recorded here which are
used in formulation of 25 different ethnomedicinal preparations for curing 25
types of diseases and ailments. Of these 19 are administrated as polyherbal
preparations to cure diseases like leucorrhoea, jaundice, gangrene, piles,
sneezing, vomiting, etc. and in remaining cases, monoherbal preparations are
used for the treatment of typhoid, paralysis, colic pain, malarial fever,
indigestion, etc. Of these 21 ethnomedicinal preparations are new as they have
not been recorded earlier in standard literature. Information of medicinal
plants with botanical name, local name, family, part(s) used, medicinal value
and formulation along with dose and duration is given. |
