| Abstract: | Darjeeling Himalayan region is characterized
by a rich floral diversity. Since most of the hilly terrain is devoid of modern
medical facilities, the people here are dependent on Traditional Medicine
Systems for their health-care. During the course of the study, it was found
that 37 species of plants belonging to 29 families are utilized as antipyretic
agents in the different ethnic medicine practices prevalent in the region. |
