Ethno Medicinal Plants of Raigad District, Maharashtra by Rajendra D. Shinde,Kalpit Ganesh Mhatre Pdf

"This book is intended to be a popular guide on medicinal plants -- their identification, classification, nomenclature, and their uses. Designed primarily for Indian scholars, this book focuses on the medicinal flora found in the Raigad district of Maharashtra. It combines the traditional uses and descriptions of medicinal plant species that are used regularly by the local inhabitants and the tribal communities. Raigad district with its varied physiographic, climatic and edaphic conditions reflects a wide assortment of rich medicinal plants. In the present book, the authors have attempted to compile traditional knowledge surrounding medicinal plants in a classical manner. A layperson rarely uses the botanical names of plants, instead s/he uses the popular or vernacular names. One of the purposes of this book is to popularize and supply standard, meaningful and common or vernacular names for the medicinal plants. Therefore, this book is accessible to readers from diverse disciplines. The authors have recorded their original observations made during the extensive field work in the area from 2009 to 2014. This contribution will be a useful resource for postgraduate and doctoral scholars of Botany, Pharmacy, Bio-medicines etc. Additionally, personnel engaged in plant-based industries will also find the information in this book very valuable" -- Back cover.

Ethnomedicinal Plants Resource of Orissa by A.K. Sahoo Pdf

Traditional medicine and ethnobotanical research, particularly when the literature and field work data have been properly evaluated. India is one of the twelve mega biodiversity countries of the world having rich in vegetables with a wide variety of plants with medicinal value. In many countries, scientific investigations of medicinal plants have been initiated because of their contribution to healthcare. Herbal medicines have good values in treating many diseases including infectious diseases, hypertension, etc. That they can save lives of many particularly in the developing countries is undisputable. Even today many local and indigenous communities in the Asian countries meet their basic needs from the products they manufacture and sell based on their traditional knowledge. Herbal drugs obtained from plants are believed to be much safer, this has been proved in the treatment of various ailments. Rural communities, in particular scheduled caste tribes, depend on plant resources mainly herbal medicines, food, forage, construction of dwellings, making household implements, sleeping mats, and for fire and shade. Rural people not only depend on wild plants as sources of food, medicine, fodder and fuel, but have also developed methods of resource management, which may be fundamental to the conservation of some of the world's important habitats. The objective of this book is to popularize the ethno medicinal plants species used by the tribals in Kalahandi district of Orissa and the traditional medical practices of the local tribes. Such attempt will protect the traditional knowledge practices of indigenous peoples from disappearing of knowledge and helps in conservation of biological resources for sustainable use.
