Conclusion
Amongst them, the mode of utilization of medicinal plants is an important part for
their primary health care system. However, recently it seems that knowledge of folklore
medicine is declining in modern society due to lack of interest of younger generation
Therefor need to preserve the knowledge of folklore medicine or ethno medicine through
written records and proper scientific way. In this context, several workers have been
reported on the ethno medicinal studies of different plant species from differen
India and several others from the other parts of the world. Some authors have also been
reported ethno-
medicinal studies of certain plants particularly piles disease. Hence, the
present study to document folklore medicinal plants for the treatm
communities of Hamirpur district of Himachal Pradesh as
so far.
Out of all the plants we reported that many plant uses we documented of
medicinalspecies were also novel.
Berberisaristata, Achyranthusaspera,Adhatodavasica, Aervasanguinolenta
Cassia fistula,Chenopodiumambrosoids
Plantago major,Solanumnigrum,Tinosporacordifolia, Verbascumth
highly cited species recorded in our study warrant further biochemicalanalyses to evaluate
their bioactive substances. Moreover, information we obtained could enable the local
communities to develop,market, and profit from dried he
substantially improving the collectiverevenue of the local society.
Conflicts of Interest:
The authors declare that they have no conflicts of interest.
