| Abstract: | The paper deals with the ethnomedicinal applications of 50 plants by Tripuri
tribes inhabiting hamlets on different hilly terrain and interior dense forest
of South and West district of Tripura. These 50 plant species belong to 46
genera of 31 families. The species are enumerated in alphabetical order in
tabular form. The ethnomedicinal information on the plants presented below is on
the basis of folklore herbalists and Tripuri medical practitioners (Ochai) who are very familiar with
different ailments, symptoms and the mode of treatment of these crude drugs. The
local tribal people still believe and express their respect and honour to the
knowledge of Ochai as it is essential
for survival of those people who live in remote hilly terrain and can not afford
costly allopathic drugs |
