| Abstract: | Tribals are a distinct ethnic group who are
usually confined to definite geographical areas, mainly in forests. Their life
is woven around forest ecology and forest resources. Information on some very
useful medicines known to the tribal communities through experience of ages is
usually passed on from generation to generation. Ethnomedicinal surveys and
fieldwork are important for systematic documentation. In the present attempt, the ethnomedicinal aspects of 45 species
of plants used by the Paliyan and Pulayan tribes of lower Palni Hills (both
northern and southern slopes) Tamil Nadu have been enumerated. |
