| Abstract: | An ethnobotanical survey was carried out to collect
information on the use of medicinal plants by Paliyan tribes in Sirumalai
hills of Eastern Ghats. About 90 medicinal plants are used in17
various health problems; highest being for wound healing (12%). The majority of
the remedies are prepared from freshly collected plant parts especially leaves
from single species only. The treatment mode is usually oral, but some pastes
using ingredients such as honey, common salt and milk are also applied. |
