| Abstract: | In the contemporary
global milieu, the documentation of the biological resources and the associated
indigenous knowledge existing within a country has assumed highest priority.
The present paper records ethnomedicinal value of 27 plant species belonging to
20 families, in vogue, from the study area. Each plant species included,
contains information regarding crude drug preparation and its method of use.
Such documentation would be helpful in terms of commercial production of drugs,
readily accessible health care to larger population, sustainable use and above
all, safeguard from bio-piracy. |
