| Abstract: | Present
investigation confined to document traditional folk recipes by using medicinal
plants among the inhabitant of Kaghan valley, Northern
Pakistan. In this survey 30 different folk recipes were documented
in order of recipe preparation, dosage and parts used along with their
botanical, local and family name of the plant species. A total of 30 plant
species belonging to 19 Angiospermic, 2 Gymnospermic and 1 Pteridophytic family
have been reported in this study. Among the angiospermic families, Asteraceae
is the dominant one with 5 species followed by Lamiaceae with 4 species and
Liliaceae with 2 species. This study can provide some novel recipes commonly
practiced among the inhabitants of this region which need systematic and
phytochemical proof of these medicinal plants for drug discovery at global perspectives. |
