Abstract
The present paper deals with discussion of conventional ethnographic
knowledge of different tribes located in the Shahdol district of Madhya
Pradesh. It is appreciably inhabited by tribal population such as the Gond,
Konda, Kol, Baiga, Bharia. Even today, the largest segments of tribal
population are dependent on plant resources for the treatment of different
disease and ailments. Presently, it is crucial to discover this traditional medicinal
system, ensure its continuity, document the appropriate research, and seek out
models. This approach will prevent these plants from being eradicated for
agricultural purposes and alleviate the pressure on overexploited natural
habitats. A total of 38 plant species belonging to 15 families were used to
treat different diseases. Therefore, it is essential to investigate the
potential for the propagation and cultivation of these plants in the region to
achieve sustainable development. Additionally, further research into the
medicinal plants referenced in this study may yield valuable insights for the
search for bioactive compounds and the development of new pharmaceuticals to
combat diseases.
