| Abstract: |
A comparative study of the traditional herbal knowledge of the islanders of the Indian Ocean and the folk of India shows that both use about
seventy species of plants in Indian medicine. Whereas some uses are common among
the folk of two regions, many traditional uses among the islanders are
unique. Comparative data on such species is presented. Details of uses,
dosages, mixture plants or other materials are given for some unique
uses/species. The advantage of substituting underground parts of plants with
aerial parts use discussed.
