| Abstract: | The present paper describes the traditional
method of treating various kinds of ailments using different vertebrates and
invertebrates and/or their products by different Naga tribes. Since different
Naga tribes have their own distinct language and vernacular of a particular
animal differs from one tribe to other. Efforts have been made to identify
different animals of medicinal value used by Naga tribes and decode their names
in common English language along with their local and zoological names as far
as possible. A list of twentysix animal species and their products, nature of
ailments and mode of treatments has been presented. Efforts have been to make
known the animal based remedial measures practiced by and large by the Naga
tribes. Though traditional in nature, most of the treatments have been reported
to provide miraculous healing in various kinds of ailments. |
