Abstract
The survival of human population on planet earth is dependent on the survival of other organism’s particularly plants. The biodiversity in wild and domesticated form is the source of human food, medicine, clothing and housing, much of the cultural diversity, and most of the intellectual and spiritual inspiration. Although without doubt, it is the very basic of the human survival, 1/4th of the known global diversity, useful in one or the other way, is in serious risk of extinction. Consciously or unconsciously plants have been used by humans and their livestock right from their inception for curing of illness. The present study was documented from the knowledge used by locals to cure different diseases. The study represents a systematic attempt to explore the traditional, ethnic knowledge of the native people about plants of the particular area, which they use to cure diseases. And it is an attempt towards conserving the local knowledge of people to plants.
