Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Folk people are the main natives of country side and forests. They are always being much closed to nature. They are fully dependent on their surroundings for their basic needs. Even during diseased condition, they mainly rely on the use of traditional medicines available in their surroundings. They believe trees as God and use their products for their well being. They have full belief on nature and their belongings. They utilized locally available plants and other natural materials for the treatment of several diseases. But this knowledge of traditional medicines is found to be confined only up to tribes and folk people of the society. Thus, it is required that such useful knowledge about indigenous medicines should be documented, popularized and systematized for the welfare of human society. The present paper is an effort to reveal the importance of ethnomedicines for tribals as well as the whole society.
