| Abstract: |
Himachal Pradesh,
which forms a part of the western Himalaya, is
a repository of medicinal and aromatic plants and the traditional knowledge
associated with these plants. Utilization of plant resources in their
day-to-day life has been an age-old practice of the people inhabiting this
hilly state. The people living in remote and tribal areas still depend on
household remedies for healthcare. The present paper provides information on
the indigenous therapeutic application and other traditional uses of 9 plant
species that are used by the natives of Himachal Pradesh. Information provided
includes scientific name, family name (in bracket), vernacular names,
distribution, and ethnobotanical use clubbed with the common uses as recorded
from the relevant literature.
