INTRODUCTION
Medicinal plants play a vital role in human life to combat diseases since times
immemorial. This plant resource has been traditionally used by traditional herbal healers in
Indians scenarios for a period more than last two millennia. India is rich in medicinal plant
wealth and about 2,500 species are known for their medicinal plant value. Out of these herbal
medicinal plants, about 500 are used by several pharmaceutical companies on account of their
high commercial value. The state of Madhya Pradesh is one of the largest tribal dominated
states in the Central India having predominance of 28 tribes in different pockets. The state
has got one of the oldest, richest and most diverse traditions called folk medicines associated
with use of medicinal plants – herbs, shrubs, climber and trees used by local vaidyas and
traditional herbal healers. A traditional healer is a person who has no formal medical training,
but is recognized by the community in which he/she lives as being competent to provide
health care by using plant, animal and mineral substances and certain other methods based on
social, cultural and religious background as well as the knowledge, attitudes and beliefs that
are prevalent in the community regarding physical, mental and social well-being and the
causation of the disease and disability.
The state of Madhya Pradesh accounts for 31% of its geographical area under forest
which accounts for 1/8th of the total forest area of our country and is home for 1/9th of the
total tribal population of our country. The large tribal population living in forest fringes is
largely dependent on forest for food, shelter, social and livelihood needs and subsistence on

forest products. Herbal medicines which once upon a time, were only used by tribal
communities, have gradually gained importance not only in developing countries but even in
developed countries like Australia, China, UK, USA, Canada and Brazil.
The traditional healers prevalent in the area of present study were in the district of
Jabalpur Mandla, Katni and Chhindwara belong to Baiga, Gond, Bhariya, Kol tribes located
in the satpura eco-region of MP. These folk healers have inherited the art of healing, curing
the patient by using medicinal and aromatic plants found forest ecosystem around their tribal
localities. These healers know the properties of large number of plants found in forest
ecosystem which needs to be documented and scientifically examined for cure of ailment.
Gradually such plants are uprooted from forest in wild forms and due to heavy exploitation
many of these species are in stage of being extinct category due to commercial utilization.
The export of such plants has reached to the tune of 60 billion U.S. $ and is growing at the
rate of 7% annually. India exports 80,000 tons of medicinal plants to USA, UK and other
countries in wild form (WHO, 2001).
Accordingly such information on traditional knowledge needs to be documented on
priority basis along with the commercial utilization of medicinal plants by traditional healers
and several pharmaceutical companies involved in trade of this region. A number of studies
by various researchers have been conducted in past and they have documented the use of
medicinal plants in India. About 3500 Ayurvedic formulations have been documented, as
well as additional formulations based on the Siddha and Unani traditions, including details
about their combinations. However, much of the knowledge held by various traditional herbal
healers regarding the use of medicinal plants has not been properly documented. This project
work is exclusively conducted to document the knowledge held by the traditional herbal

healers of the tribal pockets of satpura plateau in Madhya Pradesh regarding their preparation
and use of herbal formulations alongwith trading pattern of medicinal plants in this region.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Plants and plant based medicaments have been employed since drawn of civilization
for prolonging life of man by combating various ailments. Ancient ethnic communities
around the world have learnt to utilize their neighborhood herbal wealth for curative purpose.
Indian subcontinent is being inhabited by over 54 million tribal people dwelling in about
5000 forest dominated villages spreading across the country comprising 15% of the total
geographical area (Choudhary, 2000); their knowledge of plants developed often at the cost
of their life in their natural dwellings.
There is urgent need of the day for sustainable management of forest eco-system as on
account of trade and over exploitation of potential medicinal plants from their natural habitat;
to ensure that our forests do not become barren from such valuable forest flora as has been
already pointed out in Rio Earth summit in 1992.
Abhilash et. al. (2005) reported in their study on conservation of biodiversity that
habitat displacement and habitat destructions are the biggest challenges in conservation of
biodiversity with emphasis to medicinal plants that habitat plays an important role in
community activities and preferences of species are highly specific in ethno-medicine.
Khaleel (2005) in his study on ground flora diversity reported that density of diversity vary
with forest ecosystem. The forests are over exploited on account of herbal plants of high
medicinal value, which are being used by traditional healers etc.
Tropical Forest Research Institute, Jabalpur
Page 7
Jain (1963, 1975) documented in his studies on tribal of central India and usefulness
of fifty common herbal plants of lesser known medicinal importance. He further carried out
sociological and ethno botanical studies in tribal plains of central India and emphasis need for
conservation of plants of medicinal value used by the tribal community. Pandey et.al (1991)
reported in his study conducted in Mandla district of MP that plants used by tribal
communities are having unique properties in folk medicine.
Forest flora consists of a number of plants used as food, timber and fuel-wood of
medicinal values. Oomachan and Srivastava (1996) reported Madhya Pradesh is a unique
state having large concentration of tribal in different pockets of forest ecosystem. He further
reported the life of these tribal are linked with several herbal plants/products growing in the
forests and they used them in folk medicine.
Pandey (1998) has mentioned in his study conducted on forest flora that use of local
knowledge on use of forest flora is a revolutionary way to recast over conventional approach.
People throughout the world are interested in knowing traditional knowledge and many of
these traditions are incorporated in to the modern practices of scientific innovation.
The challenges now in forestry sector specially in medicinal plants and their
utilization in cure of ailments ant their sustainable management is quite different from those
met in previous decade. Tribal populations living in forest fringes is largely depended on
forest for their livelihood and substances on the forest products especially non-wood forest
products (Shukla, 2004).
The role of extension agencies varies from simple transfer of technology to end users
and their adoption (Jana et.al. 2004). The extension agency plays a vicious role in bridging
the gap and demonstrating scientific practices (Saxena and Kushwaha, 2004). Tewari, (2003)
Tropical Forest Research Institute, Jabalpur
Page 8
recommended that JFM has gained importance in conservation and protection of forest and
there is need to strengthen extension network for transfer of technology.
Bhatnagar and Mishra (2001) reported marketing system of minor forest produce in
Madhya Pradesh. Bhatnagar and Swati (2002) reported Marketing scenario of medicinal
plants in Chhindwara district in Harrai and Amarwada tehsils and observed that 21 traders
collect herbal materials from tribal communities from their home, grade them and sale to
industries involved in manufacturing of herbal medicines.
Laurd (1913) reported in his paper that Census was conducted to study the
predominant belts with tribes in Central India and other parts of the country. Thunderwald
(1933) classified tribals as homogenous community and described their nature and
occupation being as hunter, trappers and they collected forest flora and use them as food
items. Elwin (1943) found tribals belong to hunting group. They gather food, medicinal
plants and forest produce from forests. Nag (1955) observed that the forest species collected
by Baiga tribals are having high medicinal value. Jain (1963 & 1975) documented usefulness
of fifty common plants of lesser known importance in his ethno-botanical study on tribals of
MP. Jain and Tarafdar (1963) described the plants which are used against snake-bite by
tribals of Central India. Tewari (1984) reported Baigas, Bhariya, Korku as primitive tribe of
M.P. Maheshwari (1984) conducted ethno-botanical studies in M.P. and found tribal pockets
have immense wealth on account of ethno-botanical studies conducted in these pockets.
Tribals depend for their livelihood on forest flora. Maheshwari (1989 and 1996) further
reported in his case study the list of plant species which are used by tribals are source of
food, fiber, and medicine and income generation. Brijlal et.al. (1985) conducted ethnobotanical studies among Baigas, Bhilas, Gond, Muria tribes of M.P. and enumerated folkuses of lichens. Saxena (1988) enumerated folk uses of 88 plant species in his ethno-botanical
studies. Khera (1991) in his study on associated of tribals with sal forest found that tribal
Tropical Forest Research Institute, Jabalpur
Page 9
women collect sal seeds, foliage; edible roots etc. from sal forest as a source of livelihood and
also use them as herbal medicine. Jain (1988) conducted sociological and ethno-botanical
studies on tribal class of Central India. He emphasized on conservation of plant species being
utilized by tribals. Patta (1988) reported food consumption by tribal community who collect
edible roots, bulbs, rhizomes, fruits from forest and consume them as food and medicinal
purposes.
Buch (1991) reported districts of Chhindwara, Seoni, Hoshangabad, Jabalpur, Sagar,
Panna, Dewas, Betul, Shivpuri and Sheopurkal are not only the rich sources of timber,
bamboo and grasses but also extremely rich in collection of minor forest produce, herbs and
medicinal plants. He further reported that Central Madhya Pradesh of Mahakoshal, Satpura
and Gondwana region covering districts of Jabalpur, Mandla, Narsinghpur, Hoshangabad,
Seoni, Chhindwara, Betul have pre-dominance of Gond, Agaria, Bhil-mina, Bhilala, Korku,
Baiga and Bhariya tribes. These tribals are using plants of medicinal values since last several
centuries from forests of Madhya Pradesh. Pandey et.al. (1991) studied some unique folk
medicines used by tribes of Mandla district. Tiwari (1997) found predominance of tribasl in
Central zone of M.P. in sal forests in districts of Mandla, Dindori, Balaghat and Shahdol and
in teak forest in districts of Betul, Seoni and Chhindwara. Oomachan and Srivastava (1996)
reported Madhya Pradesh is a unique state having large concentration of tribal people and life
of these people are linked with several plants and plants products. They extensively use wild
plants for food, traditional medicines and in socio-religious ceremonies. There are numerous
lesser known uses of plants and plant products which are used by these communities. Pandey
(1998) has mentioned in his study that local knowledge on forest is a revolutionary way to
recast our conventional approach for development. People throughout the world are interested
in knowing traditional knowledge and many of these traditions are incorporated into modern
practices of scientific innovations.

Rai and Nath (2000) in their case study on tribals of Rajbeda forest village in Chilpi
forest area found that tribals who were forest dwellers, hunters have started cultivation of
agricultural crops like paddy, Kodo, Maize, Mustard, Wheat for consumption as staple food.
Their women folks collect mahul flowers and leaves, sal seeds, sal rasins, harra, baheda,
aonla, bamboo, canes and medicinal plants from forest as a source of income generation for
their livelihood and medicinal uses. Rai et.al. (2001) have described the characteristics and
conducted Ethno-botanical studies on Primitive tribes of Madhya Pradesh. Rai and Nath
(2005) have listed the various uses of medicinal plants by traditional herbal healers in Central
India. Rai and Nath (2005) have documented some lesser known oral herbal contraceptives
in folk claim in Bastar region of Chhattisgarh. Rai et.al. (2006) have documented the various
uses of indigenous herbal medicinal plants by Gond traditional healers in cure of skin
diseases in Bastar region of Chhattisgarh.
In India the native people are exploiting a variety of herbals for effective curing of
various ailments. The plant parts used, preparation, and administration of drugs vary from
one place to other. However, the knowledge of herbal medicines is gradually perishing,
although some of the traditional herbal men are still practicing the art of herbal healing
effectively. These plants are frequently used by the local inhabitants of the area for
treatment of various diseases. Ethno-medicinal studies have offered immense scope and
opportunities for the development of new drugs. Some modern drugs have been deducted
from folklore and traditional medicines. Living close to nature, traditional societies have
acquired unique knowledge about the use of wild flora and fauna and most of which are
unknown to the people who live away from such natural ecosystem as forests.
In Madhya Pradesh, tribes and forest dwellers form a considerable part of the
population. The state is strategically located and occupies a place almost in the heart of the
Tropical Forest Research Institute, Jabalpur
Page 11
country. A large number of tribal communities live in remote and inaccessible parts of the
forests. Most of these tribes are largely dependent on plant species for curing their ailments.
They take the medicines from the traditional herbal healers of their area. Accordingly, the
documentation work was carried out in four districts of satpura plateau of Madhya Pradesh.

METHODOLOGY
The study was carried out in the tribal pockets of Jabalpur, Mandla, Katni and
Chhindwara districts of Madhya Pradesh state of India. The survey was conducted to collect
the information regarding tribal pockets of all districts from Tribal Welfare Office and
Divisional Forest Office. Total 25 tribal blocks were visited during the study.
Special
attention was paid to record information from local traditional herbal healer (Vaidya). The
information on home remedies using the preventive and curative values of different plant
species documented involving the ethical guidelines adopted by the International Society of
Ethno-biology.
Ex-Post Facto Research (Chapin, 1955), Rapid Rural Appraisal (RRA) method
(Ellman, 1981) was adapted for collection of data from primary and secondary sources. The
design is a systematic empirical enquiry in which scientist has a direct control on independent
variables. Here the variables were tribals, traditional herbal healers, and local villagers from
whom the information were collected. The techniques of RRA included interview and
question design techniques for individual, household and key informant interviews, methods
of cross-checking information from different sources, sampling techniques that can be
adapted to a particular objective, methods of obtaining quantitative data in a short time frame
group interview techniques, including focus-group interviewing methods of direct
observation at site level, and use of secondary data sources.
Tropical Forest Research Institute, Jabalpur
Page 13
Random and snowball sampling techniques were employed to identify potential
participants and interviewed with herbal healers. The study area covers selection of tribal
blocks of the district. The details of tribal blocks and tribal herbal healers were collected from
Tribal Welfare Office and Forest Office of the districts. The tribal villages are selected from
tribal blocks by random sampling method. RRA method for collection of data has been
applied. A questionnaire / schedule have been developed to document the information
prevailing in the community over a period of time in periodical visits (Ann.I). The guidelines
mentioned in the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) have been followed for survey
and documentation work. During the field trips, local guide, villagers, traditional herbal
healers, tribal heads and tribal person were contacted and enquired to gather related
information.
Identification of plants has been made through the local name of plant with the help of
existing literature. The directory of Indian folk medicines and Indian Materia Medica were
consulted to confirm the identification and the medicinal use of plants.
The total geographical area of districts covered in Satpura plateau comprises of
49,882 km² along with the canopy cover area being 14,291 km² which account for 28% of
total area and open forest area is 5,128 km². The study conducted in Jabalpur, Mandla,
Chhindwara and Katni whose geographical area is 27,776 km² and forest area is 9,542km²
and comprises of 2,667 tribal villages. The loss of forest cover in Satpura plateau has been
recorded as 83 km² as compared to 1997 assessment and 1999 assessment (FSI, 2001). The
loss further declined as per 1999-2001 assessment to 395 km2. (FSI, 2003).

DOCUMENTATION OF TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE ON
ETHNO MEDICINAL USES OF PLANTS FROM
TRIBAL COMMUNITIES
4.1. Introduction:
Plants and plant based medicaments have been employed since drawn of civilization
for prolonging life of man by combating various ailments. Ancient ethnic communities
around the world have learnt to utilize their neighborhood herbal wealth for curative purpose.
Indian subcontinent is being inhabited by over 54 million tribal people dwelling in about
5000 forest dominated villages spreading across the country comprising 15% of the total
geographical area (Choudhary, 2000); their knowledge of plants developed often at the cost
of their life in their natural dwellings. Their centuries old experience could not be perfectly
documented due to the lake of literacy and it had rather descended from one generation to
another as a domestic practice. It comprises of one of the unique treasure and rich source of
diversified ethno-botanical wealth. With rapid intrusion of modern civilization coupled with
indiscriminate cutting of forest cover have compelled the native tribal communities to flee
from their natural abodes in search of their livelihood and with them is vanishing their
precious knowledge. Before such a catastrophe takes the toll, there is urgent need for
intensive and extensive studies and proper documentation of their knowledge of utilization
pattern of medicinal plants. With this view the present study was taken up in the four district
Tropical Forest Research Institute, Jabalpur
Page 17
of Madhya Pradesh of Satpura Plateau to study the utilization pattern of plants in ethnomedicinal uses prevalent in tribal pockets of Satpura plateau in Madhya Pradesh.
The documentation and utilization pattern of plants were carried out in 4 districts of
satpura eco-region of Madhya Pradesh. Total 25 tribal blocks were selected for the study in
districts of Jabalpur, Mandla, Katni and Chhindwara. Special attention was paid to record
information from local traditional herbal healer. The utilization pattern of medicinal plants
were recorded from 38 herbal healers of Jabalpur, 31 from Mandla, 30 from Chhindwara and
35 herbal healers from Katni districts from 5,9,5 and 6 tribal blocks respectively .
The major tribal localities and communities residing in tribal pockets of four selected district
are as follows Table. 2. District wise tribal blocks, community and herbal healers selected for study

4.2.1. Jabalpur District
The Jabalpur district is located between 23017‘ North latitude and 79 95‘ East
longitudes at a height of 411 meters (1348 feet) above mean sea level. The origin of Jabalpur
goes back to ancient times. It was then known as Tripuri and was governed by Hayahaya
rulers. The ancient Indian epic of Mahabharata has references to his city. It became a part of
the great Mauryan and the Gupta Empires. In ad 875, it was taken over by the Kalchuri
dynasty who made Jabalpur their capital. In the 13th century, the Gonds seized it and made it
their capital. By the early 16th century, it had become the powerful kingdom of Gondwana.
From time to time, the Mughal rulers tried to overrun it. The legendary Gond Queen Rani
Durgavati died fighting the Mughal forces led by the great Mughal Emperor Akbar. It finally
fell to the Marathas in 1789 and was taken over by the British in 1817, when they defeated
the Marathas. The British made Jabalpur the commission headquarters of the Narmada
territories and established a cantonment here. There are 07 Blocks in the district with 1449
habited villages, 60 un-habited 1209 revenue village and 04 forest villages. As per Census
2001 Population of the district is 21, 67,469.
The tribal people use different parts of plants that are locally available, in curing
different types of diseases. They normally do not depend upon allopathic medicines as
traditionally they have been using the plats growing around them as medicine. In case of
any illness, village people contact their local medicine practitioner to whom they call
vaidhya. Vaidhya is a person who has inherited the knowledge of curing various diseases
from his fore fathers and others by using only plants. Traditionally, local knowledge is
transferred from one generation to other generation within family of the vaidhya and in
this way vaidhya system survives. The survey was conducted to collect the information

regarding tribal pockets of Jabalpur district from Tribal Welfare Office and
Divisional/Range Forest Office.

Five village viz. Kundam, Shahpura, Bargi, Panagar and Majholi of Jabalpur district have
been identified as rich tribal pockets. The enumerations of 128 Medicinal plants being
used by the traditional herbal healers have been documented from Jabalpur district. The
plants were identified. The habit of the plant, plant parts used against the diseases has been
documented. The same is presented in table 3. The name of 38 traditional herbal healers
and their localities have recorded from above tribal pockets. The details are as follows –

4.2. 2.Mandla District
Mandla district is a tribal district located in the east-central part of Madhya Pradesh. It
is a eastern part of the Jabalpur district. The district forms a part of Satpura hills, which
separates the cotton growing of the south from the wheat growing extension of the Malwa
Plateau on the north, and is the watershed of three districts river systems. The district lies
almost entirely in the catchment of river Narmada and its tributaries. The district lies between
the latitude 220 2' and 230 22' north and longitude 800 18' and 810 50' east. The tropic of
cancer thus passes through the north of the district. The total area of the district is 13,269 Sq.
Km. Thus before bifurcation it was the 6th largest district in the state. Its extreme length is
about 133 km. from north to south and extreme breadth 182 Km. from east to west. The total
population of the district was 12, 91,263 persons as per census of 1991.
Highly irregular in shape, it is not possible to describe it by comparison with any
geometrical figure. However, if one looks at the map of the district, it would tend to assume a
scorpion like appearance. The district is bounded on the north-west by Jabalpur district; on
the north and north-east by Shahdol district; on the south-east by Bilaspur-Rajnandgaon
district; on the south by Durg and Balaghat district and on the west by Seoni district.
There are 9 blocks, 4 Tehsils and 1247 villages in the district. With the promulgation
of Madhya Pradesh reorganization of district has been bifurcated into the Mandla and Dindori
districts. The Dindori, Shahpura Tahsils and Mehandwani development block formed Dindori
district while rest of the area existed in Mandla District. Gonds were earlier mostly forestdwellers but are at present settled agriculturists and hence are also referred as Kisan (Farmer).
The food habits of Gonds are somewhat uniform. Their staple food is the gruel of millet and
boiled rice. Both Vegetarian and non-vegetarian foods are common among them. They hardly
hesitate to take any kind of meat exception being their respective totemic systems.

Beef-eating is generally restricted in the tribes as their inclination towards Hinduism. The
Baigas are the most primitive forest tribal of the district.
The survey was conducted to collect the information regarding tribal pockets of
Mandla district from Tribal Welfare Office and Divisional/Range Forest Office. Nine blocks
viz. Mandla, Bichhia, Mavai, Ghughari, Muhgaon, Nainpur, Narayanganj, Niwas and
Bijadandi district have been identified as rich tribal pockets. The details of leading traditional
herbal healers and their localities have been collected from above tribal pockets. Thirty one
traditional herbal healers in tribal villages have been visited to document the traditional
knowledge. The details are as follows –

In most of the preparations roots (44.36%) are used for the preparation of medicines
predominantly followed by leaf (12.78%), bark (12.78%), seeds (9.02%), fruits (6.7%), tuber
parts (3.76%), whole plant (3.01%), flower and bulb (2.26%), rhizome and stem part
(1.50%). The common use of root and leaf in the preparation of remedies could partly be due
to the relative ease of finding this plant part. Leaves remain green and available in plenty for
the mostof the months through out the years.

In most of the preparations roots (26%) are used for the preparation of medicines
predominantly followed by leaf (19.7%), seeds (13.4%), bark (12.6%), whole plant (8.7%),
fruits (7.1%), tuber parts (4.7%), latex (2.4% ), stem part and bulb (1.6%), rhizome and
Resin (0.8%each). The common use of root and leaf in the preparation of remedies could
partly be due to the relative ease of finding this plant part.

4.3. Discussion:
A rich heritage of indigenous medicinal plants use and knowledge was well
recognized. However, the knowledge and use of these plants are no properly documented by
the tribal community. These traditional knowledge are only transmitted from generation to
generation verbally. According to Alcorn (1984), indigenous knowledge develops and
changes with time and space. Ethno-medicinal knowledge involves traditional diagnosis,
collection of raw materials, preparation plant remedies in India; pass from one generation to
the other generation verbally with great secrecy. Such secret and verbal transfer makes the
indigenous knowledge or ethno-medicinal knowledge vulnerable to distortion and in most
cases some of the experience is lost at each point of transfer (Amare, 1976), hence the need
for systematic documentation of such a useful knowledge now-a-days through ethnobotanical research is neccesory.
Traditional medicine had minimal adverse effects with exception of vomiting and
inflammations, since the dosages are not fixed (in most cases unknown) (Gidey, 2009).
Therefore, there is need for traditional healers to undergo training in basic health care
delivery. Traditional healers should be encouraged to transfer their knowledge to interested
persons in their communities. As most of the medicinal plants are wild and harvested for their
roots to prepare remedies, the healers in consultation with government officials should take
care not to eradicate the medicinal plant species altogether. It is advisable to replace these
plants to ensure sustainability by establishing nurseries for the common medicinal plants so
as to curb deforestation as its associated consequences such as erosion and loss in soil
fertility. Awareness creation among the traditional healers and community at large is
important in order to preserve the indigenous medicinal plant species. Conservation measures
such area closure whereby a ban is placed on farming, grazing, tree felling will help minimize
environmental degradation and the attendant global warming (Endashaw, 2007)

In the present study, data collected through ethno-botanical survey included plant
species with their vernacular names, use and mode of preparation. The tribal people of
Jabalpur, Mandla, Katni and Chhindwara are using 128,133,199 and 127 plant species
belonging to 59, 61, 58 and 55 families respectively. Among them 158 are trees, 76 are
shrubs, 80 are climbers, 185 are herbs, 7 grasses and 1 orchid. The most commonly
represented families in allth study sites are Fabaceae (42), Liliacea (27) Euphorbiacea (24),
Caesalpiniaceae (22) and Cucurbitacea (19).

Maximum 133 Medicinal plants being used by the traditional herbal healers have been
documented from Mandla district and minimum 119 medicinal plants being used by herbal
healer of Katni District. The tribal uses different parts of plants which are locally available, in
curing various types of diseases. In case of any illness, village people contact their local
medicine practitioner to whom they call vaidhya (traditional herbal healer). Vaidhya is a
person who has inherited the knowledge of curing various diseases from his fore fathers and
others by using plants. There is one or two such type of person ( Vaidhyas) in the village
community. Traditionally, local knowledge is transferred from one generation to other
generation within family of the vaidhya and in this way vaidhya system survives.

The traditional herbal healing properties contain much medicine for a single ailment
out of the various medicines; one is selected by the herbal healer for curing a particular
disease according to symptoms and secondary effects. Several plants are used in case of one
disease according to their availability in the region. Some of the plants commonly used by
tribals in Central India for prominent disease have been recorded during the present study.
The remedial measures have been recorded from tribes of four districts (Jabalpur, Mandla,
Katni and Chhindwara) of Madhya Pradesh, India. The enumerations of 507 Medicinal
plants have been recorded from the traditional herbal healers from all districts. The plants and
its parts being used by the traditional herbal healers against the diseases prevailing among
tribal/local peoples of the area have been documented. It is interesting to note that the rural
communities still dependent on herbal medicines and they used to take herbal medicine from
herbal healers of their local area. The plant parts used and formulations of the medicine
prepared by traditional herbal healers have been documented for the first time from these
regions and presented in this report.
India is blessed with rich and diverse heritage of cultural traditions. These traditions
are associated with use of wild plants. The use of medicinal herbs is still a tradition continued

by ethnic communities who are living in undulating plains and at foot hills of dense forest.
Shanker (1998) has reported the traditional folk healers in India. Ethno-botanical studies in
context to Bharia tribe of Madhya Pradesh, India include those by Jain (1963, 1975), Ram
Prasad et. al. (1990),Rai et. al .(2001),and Saxena and Shukla (1971), Rai and Nath(2005).
The survey of literature shows these people have conducted studies on use of medicinal
plants by Bharia tribes. The present study has been undertaken for documentation of
information on ethno-medicinal uses prevalent in the region of study. Jain (1965) has
concluded similar study on the plants used in medicine by tribal of only part of Mandla and
Baster region of Madhya Pradesh. Oomachan and Masih (1992) have also studied the ethnobotany of Pachmarhi region of Madhya Pradesh. However, detail documentation work in
above four districts of study area of MP has so far not been carried and published in detail.
Maximum numbers of plant species being used in preparation of herbal medicines are
documented from 38 herbal healers of Jabalpur district. The study reveals that the Mandla
district is rich in medicinal plants as compare to Jabalpur, Katni and chhindwara Districts. It
has also been observed during the study that these species are being over exploited and need
proper conservation.
4.4. Conclusion:
The information recorded from herbal healers indicates that the tribals of these
regions possess good knowledge of herbal drugs. The collective efforts of ethno-botanists,
phyto-chemists, pharmacognostists and pharmacologists are needed to document and evaluate
the efficacy and safety of the claims. Majority of plant species used are belonging to family
Fabaceae, Liliacea, Euphorbiacea, Caesalpiniaceae and Cucurbitacea in all districts. The
preparations are made from leaves, bark and underground parts (like root, rhizome etc). The
percentage of method of preparation of various formulations includes plants applied as paste,
Tropical Forest Research Institute, Jabalpur
Page 88
powder, decoction extract and juice and other applied as oil, smoke and chew. The some
patients treated by traditional herbal healers of the study sites have been contacted and
enquired about the success of the treatment given to them. The most of the patients are found
fully satisfied and having full faith with the treatment given by herbal healers for cure of
various diseases prevailing among tribal/village communities. The duration of the treatment
in general was from seven to fifteen days as documented from the herbal healers. The
formulation of the medicine prepared from a particular plant/plant parts have also been
documented from the traditional herbal healers and presented in the tables.
To test the scientific validity of the herbal preparation or drugs, clinical studies are
required to be conducted. This can established therapeutic properties of these preparations
for safe and longer use. The indigenous knowledge and uses of herbal medicinal plants of a
particular area have to be analyzed to develop appropriate management measures (ex-situ &
in-situ conservation) for best utilization of natural resource.

DOCUMENTATION OF UTILIZATION PATTERN OF
MEDICINAL PLANTS AND THEIR PARTS IN
DIFFERENT FORMULATION
5.1. Introduction:
Throughout Asia, the Ayurveda, Unani, and Chinese medical systems have developed
and refined treatments based purely on preparations made from available natural resources.
Ayurveda was probably developed much earlier than the Unani and Chinese medicine
systems. The oldest existing literature on this form of treatment is the Rigveda, the classic
Hindu text, which according to legend was written in the years 4500-1600 BCE. Other
important Ayurvedic medical texts include the Charak Samhita (1000-800 BCE) and Susruta
Samhita (800-700 BCE). The Unani system of medical treatment developed much later and
attained popularity in India during the medieval period. Likewise, traditional Chinese
medicine developed in China and came to India through its association with Buddhism, trade,
and migration. In all these historical traditions, the region has been repeatedly described as a
rich repository of valuable medicinal plants.
A number of studies by various researchers have documented the use of traditional
medicinal plants in India (Dey, 1988, CSIR, 1989, Jain, 1991, Maikhuri et al 1998, Kala,
1998,). About 3500 Ayurvedic formulations have been documented, as well as additional
formulations based on the Siddha and Unani traditions, including details about their
Tropical Forest Research Institute, Jabalpur
Page 90
combinations (Banerjee, 2002). However, much of the knowledge held by various traditional
herbal healers regarding their use of medicinal plants has not been documented. This is the
study on documentationof the utilization pattern of meditational plants used by the traditional
herbal healers of the satpura region of Madhya Pradesh regarding their preparation and use of
herbal
5.2. Methods
Field surveys were undertaken across the various tribal pockets of 4 districts of
Madhya Pradesh during 2006 to 2010. A semi-structured survey was conducted among
traditional vaidyas—practitioners of Ayurvedic medicine. The purpose of the survey was to
document their knowledge of preparing various herbal formulations. The survey also
gathered information about the local names of medicinal plants, plant parts used in treatment,
and the number of ailments being treated by medicinal plant preparations.
A total of 134 traditional vaidyas were interviewed to collect such information. These
vaidyas resided in 25 sites spread across four district(Jabalpur, Mandla, Chhindwara and
Katni) of the Madhya Pradesh, such as Kundam, Shahpura, Bargi, Panagar, Majholi, Mandla,
Bichhia , Mavai, Ghughari, Muhgaon , Nainpur ,Narayanganj, Niwas, Bijadandi, Rithi,
Dhimarkheda, Badwara, Vijayraghavgad, Bahoriband, Bichhua, Junnardev, Harrai, Tamia
Amarwada and Mohkhed. Field visits were made with vaidyas to identify medicinal plants.
Data were crosschecked by interviewing 3 or more vaidyas on the use of each plant and the
preparation of each medicinal formulation. The participant observation method was used to
understand the methods and techniques adopted by vaidyas in preparation of formulations.
Tropical Forest Research Institute, Jabalpur
Page 91
5.3. Results
The study showed that 507 medicinal plants used in the medicinal formulations.
Ailments with the largest number of treatment formulations are Rheumatism, Cough & Cold,
Weakness, Asthma, Urinary trouble, Fever, Burn, Snake bite, Piles, Leucorrhea, Scorpion
sting, Impotency, Swelling, Spermatorrhea, Jaundice, Stomach ache, Skin disease, Body pain,
Colic pain, Acidity, Boils, Paralysis, Lactation, Anemia, Gastric problem, Dysentery, Cuts,
Menstrual disorder, Malaria fever, Stone, Diarrhea. Of the 134 vaidyas interviewed, young
(16-25 years) category was nil, 39 were adult (26-45 years), and 95 were older (over 46
years). There were no vaidyas in lower age groups and fewer disciples studying with the
vaidyas. In addition to the vaidyas, a number of women and men in the villages are familiar
with the healing properties of medicinal plants, though they are not as well-versed in the
actual preparation of various medicinal formulations. This loss of knowledge regarding the
preparation of traditional medicine is directly related to the declining number of vaidyas.

5.4. Discussion:
The science of herbal formulations is one of methods of Ayurveda. Many of the
traditional vaidyas enjoy a high level of local acceptance and respect, and thus have
considerable influence on health belief and practice. According to the vaidyas, some
Ayurvedic formulations contain about 15 or more secondary plant species that enhance the
potency and support the primary plant species. Sometimes other plant species are also added
to the formulations to prevent any possible adverse side effects. . However, many Ayurvedic
herbs are prescribed alone to cure ailments. Examples include katuki (Picrorhiza kurrooa
Royle ex Benth., Scrophulariaceae), harra (Terminalia chebula Retz., Combretaceae),
baheda (Terminalia bellerica [Gaertn.] Roxb., Combretaceae), brahmi (Centella asiatica [L.]
Urb., Apiaceae), pudina (Mentha longifolia [L.] Hudson, Lamiaceae), haldi (Curcuma
domestica L. Zingiberaceae), and ashwagandha (Withania somnifera [L.] Dunal, Solanaceae).
Vaidyas use the whole herb or plant part in the preparation of medicine, whereas the
pharmaceutical industry extracts the active ingredient to make plant-derived drugs. For
example, the pharmaceutical industry developed the formerly popular hypertensive drug
reserpine, which is derived from the traditional Ayurvedic plant Rauvolfia serpentina (L.)
Benth. ex Kurz, Apocynaceae. The notion of using the whole herb or plant part rather than an
isolated chemical constituent may also contribute to a balanced formula that has a less
adverse side effects.
In addition to prescribing herbal medicine, the traditional Ayurvedic system gives an
appropriate level of importance to lifestyle, diet, sleep, daily and seasonal routines, and
internal cleansing (i.e., of the gastrointestinal tract). The values of disease eradication from its
Tropical Forest Research Institute, Jabalpur
Page 93
root cause and the treatment of chronic problems are some of the main forces leading to the
increased interest in and acceptance of Ayurvedic treatments in many industrialized and
developing countries. During the last few years, about $18 million has been spent on research
in Ayurvedic medicine. According to one survey, over 600 scientific studies are being
conducted in 27 countries at 220 institutions (Stock, 2002). Ayurveda has a record of curing
some chronic disorders that do not respond well to western medicine, such as eczema,
cystitis, and migraines (Banerjee, 2002).
Unfortunately, there has been a rapid decline in the traditional practice of individual
healers identifying plants and preparing various formulations for direct distribution to
patients. With the increased availability and acceptance of conventional Western medicine
and many of those who are familiar with the tenets and benefits of Ayurveda are not
receiving the full respect. By documenting the herbal formulations prepared by traditional
vaidyas, it may be possible to prevent unfortunate scenarios like the recent attempt by
commercial interests in the United States to patent the traditional Ayurvedic medicinal plant
and culinary spice turmeric (Curcuma domestica Valeton, Zingiberaceae). [Note: A US use
patent was granted for a turmeric preparation for inflammation, but later overturned/rescinded
after strong protest by the Indian government based on turmeric‘s traditional use in
Ayurveda; Johnston and Webb 1997.]
Fortunately, the increasing popularity of Ayurveda in the Western countries, may
advance the spread of Ayurveda on a global scale. Another factor contributing to the market
value of Ayurveda is the growing concern about the escalating costs and safety of
conventional Western Medicine. Exporters of herbal products could leverage these issues to
their advantage and thereby increase sales. Highly effective formulations can be developed if
steps are taken to organize the traditional vaidyas.
Tropical Forest Research Institute, Jabalpur
Page 94
Before the 1980s, the reputation of the respective vaidya and the formulations
developed by him were sufficient criteria for people to believe in its value. Today, the
reduced number of knowledgeable and recognized vaidyas clearly reveals a major disruption
in the ancient custom of carrying forward this traditional knowledge. Although the study on
which this article reports succeeded in capturing substantial information about the vaidyas
and their use and preparation of herbal formulations, additional studies are needed to
complete the work. Moreover, the documented properties of the medicinal plants utilized by
various traditional vaidyas should be clinically evaluated to further strengthen their validity
and to encourage the preparation of new formulations. The various formulations provided by
traditional vaidyas must be preserved to ensure the integrity of this time-honored knowledge
of traditional healing (Kala, 2006).
The indigenous knowledge and practice of usage of medicinal plants in rural areas of
MP is passed down through oral tradition and personal experiences. The knowledge clearly
decreased with age. People of ages more than 46 year possessed greater knowledge on
identification and uses of medicinal and aromatic plants in this area. The young generations
tend to leave ancestral practices behind, refocusing their interests on treatments offered by
western medicine. Due to changing lifestyles, perception as well as social transformation, the
plant resource and indigenous knowledge of utilization are being severely degraded. This
impact is inevitable to the satpura plateau and plant resources are in great peril. Indigenous
knowledge systems are not only of value for the cultures from which they evolve, but also for
scientists and planners striving to improve the living conditions in rural societies.

CHANNELS INVOLVED IN PROCUREMENT OF HERBAL
PLANTS AS RAW MATERIAL FOR PREPARATION OF
FINISHED PRODUCTS AND THEIR MARKETING
6.1. Introduction:
The Madhya Pradesh state is one of the best representatives of the Deccan Peninsular
and semiarid bio-geographic zone that obtains biodiversity rich deciduous forests. About
27.44% geographical area of Madhya Pradesh state is under various types of forests with rich
plant diversity, of these many species are of ethno-botanical importance. In order to conserve
and maintain the natural populations of these ethno-botanical species as well as to meet their
requirements, the MP State Minor Forest Produce Co-operative Federation has been
established. This deals with various conservation, development and livelihood issues at state
level. A large number of hunter-gatherer societies live in the forests of Madhya Pradesh from
historical times. These tribal and non-tribal groups meet their daily requirements from the
surrounding forest resources. Madhya Pradesh is dominated by the Tribal population. The
differences in the tribal community, spread over in various parts of the state, is clearly seen
not only on the basis of their heredity, lifestyle and cultural traditions, but also from their
social, economic structure, religious beliefs and their language and speech. Due to the
different linguistic, cultural and geographical environment, and its peculiar complications, the
diverse tribal world of Madhya Pradesh has been largely cut-off from the mainstream of
Tropical Forest Research Institute, Jabalpur
Page 175
development. The population of Tribals in Madhya Pradesh is 122.33 lakh constituting
20.27% of the total population of Madhya Pradesh (603.85 Lakh), according to the 2001
census. There are 46 recognized Scheduled Tribes and three of them have been identified as
"Special Primitive Tribal Groups" in the State. The main tribal groups in Madhya Pradesh are
Gond, Bhil, Baiga, Korku, Bhadia, Halba, Kaul, Mariya, and Sahariya. Dhar, Jhabua and
others. Mandla district has more than 50 percent tribal population out of the total population.
In Khargone, Chhindwara, Seoni, Sidhi and Shahdol districts, 30 to 50 percent population is
of tribes. Maximum population is that of Gond tribes. Over the years of trial and errors, they
have accumulated a great deal of knowledge on the utility of surrounding biodiversity. This
traditionally occupied knowledge is transmitted by oral means and is mostly acquired through
learning-by-doing approaches (Tirkey, 2004, Kala, 2005).
The plant based resources form a large share on which rural communities depend for
food and medicines (Kala, 2005). The traditional knowledge on the use of plant resources is
dwindling due to several reasons including shift in attitude towards a more western lifestyle
and declining interest of younger generations to carry forward the tradition. The traditionally
occupied ethno-botanical knowledge is mostly restricted to far-flung areas away from
invasion of modern cultural forces (Kala, 2007). The rural area in these tribal pockets of state
is inhabited by many tribal groups, which possess a great deal of knowledge on the various
plant resources.
During the past few decades, the advent of conventional pharmaceutical drugs has
precipitated and hastened the decline of traditional medical systems all over the world,
including Ayurveda. In India, one area of concern is the sharp decline in the centuries-old
knowledge of preparing medicines from local plant resources. These medicinal plants and the
industries that use them represent great commercial opportunities for India in the world
Tropical Forest Research Institute, Jabalpur
Page 176
market. The global herbal market for medicinal plants has been estimated to be worth $120
billion a year. Medicinal plants used in Ayurveda represent $60 billion (US).. This amount
could be increased multiple times if more organized attempts are made to convey the
impressive healing properties of Ayurveda.
Traditional herbal healer collect the medicinal plants from the nearby area of their
forest and sale it on their own price from their own shop. They have their own traditional
knowledge, information on collection, harvesting and utilization of medicinal plant. In the
past there had been instances where harvester and collectors have not got the price of their
product to meet their cost of medicine. Therefore it is important to find out the channels
involved in procurement of herbal plants as raw material for preparation of finished products
and their marketing.
6.2. Methodology:
Survey have been carried out to document the channels involved in trading of herbal
plants and price structure as per herbal healer in the district of Jabalpur, Mandla, Chhindwara,
Katni, Sagar, Satna and Bhopal districts of Madhya Pradesh. Ten local traders from Jabalpur
district, eleven local traders from Mandla district, Twenty one local traders from Chhindwara
district, Ten local traders from Katni districts, two local traders from Sagar and seven local
traders from Satna and Bhopal district have been contacted those are involved in trading of
medicinal plants and their parts.
Market day of tribal villages of Jabalpur, Mandla, Katni and Chhindwara district have
been visited and recorded where trading of raw and finished product take place.

6.4. Stregthning of Market mechanism of NWFP species
1. NTFP species are to be priortised keeping in view of their demand and ease of
cultivation.
2. Dissemination of collection/harvesting, storage, value addition and processing
technologies for the benefit of growers/harvesters, should be taken up on priorty.
3. Market channel are to be strengthen through the existing committees of State Forest
Departments, Forest Development corporations and otyher Government departments.
4. Assessment of the demand of industries should be made.
5. NTFP certification for the maintaining of the quality of raw materials should also be
introduced.

PREPARATION OF PAMPHLETS, TECHNICAL BULLETIN AND
EXTENSION AIDS FOR UTILIZATION BY END – USERS FOR
CREATING AWARENESS
7.1. Intoduction:
With the increasing demand for traditional medicinal product in the local market, the
demand for the raw materials will also be increased.. In most of the cases, the whole
tree/herbs, roos and stems of medicinal plants are taken and this practice basically are
destroying the population of the species in the forests. Some conservation measures are
needed in order to avoid the problems of storage and unsustainable harvesting and use of raw
materials from the forests.
During the study, the institute has participated in various van melas organised by the state
forest department to create awareness among the people and traditional herbal healers about
the importance and conservation of medicinal plants. Large number of herbal healers have
been contacted to document their traditional knowledge in the melas.The proper identification
of plant species has also been demonstrated to healers.
Slogans and description of medicinal plant and their uses regarding importance of
medicinal plants and their sustainable use and conservation have been prepared for
distributing among the tribal pockets of the study area and Van Vigyan Kendra, Jabalpur in
the form of pamphlets for creating awareness. (Ann. – II)

CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTIONS
It has been realized that medicinal herbs are going to play an important role in future
Materia Medica. These herbal drugs provide strength to the body organs and stimulate normal
functioning. The herbal drugs act selectively and gently without disturbing other sub-systems,
whereas, modern medicine affects several metabolic activities in the human system and has
side effects, which makes the body more suspectible to other disease.
There has been increasing interest in ethno medicine throughout the world in recent
years. In India, there are large numbers of traditional herbal healers being involved in curing
people since last several years with the help of herbal plants. This study reveals that the tribal
community still depends on traditional herbal healers and herbal medicines available in their
surroundings for cure of various diseases prevailing in tribal community.
The informations related to herbal treatments given by traditional herbal healers of
tribal communities is disseminated from one generation to another through oral
communication only and needs to be properly documented. Keeping in view the above facts,
this study has been conducted for docuemtnation of following information 1. Documentation of medicinal plants of Central Madhya Pradesh being used by the
traditional herbal healers.

2. Documentation of traditional knowledge from traditional herbal healers regarding
uses of herbal plants in cure of various diseases prevailing in the tribal pockets of
Central Madhya Pradesh.
3. To prepare the list of traditional herbal healers practicing indigenous knowledge.
4. To create awareness among tribal communities for sustainable use and conservation
of medicinal plants available in the area.

Suggestions:
Good Cultivation and Harvesting Practices for Non-timbe Forest Products
Need for good cultivation and harvesting practices
Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) including medicinal and aromatic plants have
been an integral part of the rural life style. Their harvesting and need-based usage should be
traditionally regulated in such a way that sustainability is inherently ensured. With the
sprawling global market these vital traditions are being shattered. In the name of health care
and intellectual property rights, profit-making multinationals are creating demands for
NTFPs. Although cultivation may meet increasing demands to some extent. The sustainable
use and timly collection of medicinal plants and their parts are some of the important factors.
For example in Charaksamhita, one of the most important Ayurvedic texts of India, it has
been mentioned that the branches and leaves of medicinal plants should be collected in rainy
and spring seasons, roots in summer or late winter when the leaves have fallen down or fully
matured, barks, tubers and latex in autumn, heartwood in early winter and flowers and fruits
according to their season. To ensure sustainable and non-destructive harvesting of NTFPs it is
essential that there is a shift from the current demand based approach to a need based
approach. The local communities should primarily be able to utilise the NTFPs for their own
basic needs. The extra, sustainable production can then go to meet basic needs of other areas.
Good harvesting practices are to be integrated with Good manufacturing practices to ensure
genuine and essential products for the society.
Medicinal and aromatic plants have so far been collected from wild resources.
However, the plant material collected from these sources is replete with the problems of
adulteration and mis-identification. Further, the plant material collected from the wild may
also be contaminated by other species or parts thereof. The wild varieties also differ with
Tropical Forest Research Institute, Jabalpur
Page 207
respect to the presence of the active constituents from area to area. All such conditions may
have adverse consequences. In view of this, cultivation of genuine, authentic variety of plants
may be the only way to have raw material of required quality. However, cultivation of these
plants has never been easy and commercially viable. This is the basic reason for their
exploitation from wild sources. Non-availability of proper techniques, soil, and authentic
plantation material are also some of the main constraints. The safety and quality of raw
medicinal plant materials and finished products depend on various factors like genetic
makeup, environmental conditions, collection and cultivation practices, harvest and postharvest processing, transport and storage practices, and so on. Inadvertent contamination by
microbial or chemical agents during any of the production stages can also lead to
deterioration in quality.
WHO guidelines on Good Agricultural and Collection Practices (GACPs):
The WHO (World Health Organization) has published guidelines for GACPs (Good
Agricultural and Collection Practices) for medicinal plants. The national governments are
required to develop country-specific guidelines for sustainable production of raw material of
quality and standardized ingredients. The development of WHO guidelines on GACPs for
medicinal plants is an important step to ensure quality of herbal medicines and ecologically
sound cultivation practices. The GACPs cover a wide spectrum of cultivation and collection
activities, including site selection, climate and soil considerations, and identification of seed,
main post-harvest operations, and legal aspects. It is necessary to concentrate on
standardizing the cultivation practices, collection practices, and post-harvest technologies for
these plants adhering to GACPs. Certain basic guidelines are to be followed under GACPs
for cultivation and harvesting of the crop, some of which are described below:
Select proper site for cultivation of a particular medicinal plant.
Tropical Forest Research Institute, Jabalpur
Page 208
 Select correct time for cultivation.
 Select proper variety.
 Adopt organic farming.
 Prune and collect only desired mature part(s), without harming the mother plant.
 Do not collect the whole population; leave at least 30%–40% for regeneration.
 Do not cut twigs/branches for collection of plant parts.
 Use proper equipment for cutting, shearing, peeling, and so on.
 Start drying process immediately after collection; ensure complete drying before
packing and storage.
 Dry aromatic herbs and delicate fruits in shade, and do not dry two or more herbs
in close vicinity.
 Sift the herbs with appropriate sifter to remove dust and other undesirable matter.
 Pack the herbs in suitable packaging material to avoid losses due to external
factors.
 Store the herbs in proper storage conditions to minimize loss on storage.
For collection of underground part(s), bark, and whole plant, following guidelines
should be adhered to:
 Collect after the seeds are shed to facilitate regeneration.
 Do least digging for collection of underground parts and leave some underground
part to facilitate regeneration.
 Collect underground parts when the mother plant is fully matured.
 Dry fleshy parts before packing and storing; cut large parts into smaller pieces.
 Do not harvests bark from immature plant; instead, collect from the branches of
main trunk.
Tropical Forest Research Institute, Jabalpur
Page 209
 Strip the bark longitudinally and not from all over the circumference of
trunk/branches.
 Cut into small pieces to facilitate complete drying.
 Harvest only mature branches for stem.
 Dry the herbs properly before packing or storing.
For collection of leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds, floral parts, and so on, follow the
following recommendation:
 Harvest only mature parts from healthy plants.
 Do not collect all material of the plant at a time.
 Do not cut branches for collecting leaves, fruits, flowers, and so on.
 Leave some floral parts on the plants to facilitate natural regeneration.
 Fleshy flowers may be dried in the sun, but should preferably be dried in shade.
 Parts like stigma, anthers, buds, and so on should be collected at appropriate time.
 Harvest the seeds once the fruits are completely mature.
For collection of gums, oils, resins, galls, and so on:
 Make incisions only vertically on some portions of the tree and not horizontally.
 Treat the incisions after collection of the desired material.
 Do not collect the gum or resin from a tree continuously and collect them in
precisely right season.
 Do not leave gum/resin exposed in the field. Pack them in appropriate containers
or drums with polyethylene lining.
 Collect the galls only from prescribed species (for example, Karkatshringi from
Pistacia integerrima).
 No live insect should be present inside the galls.

SUMMARY OF THE PROJECT
The ethno-botanical study has been conducted in Jabalpur, Mandla, Katni and
Chhindwara districts of Madhya Pradesh to document the traditional knowledge on ethnomedicinal prevelling in the tribal communities over a year. The tribal pockets and traditional
herbal healers have been identified for each district for documentation work. The tribal
villages are selected from tribal blocks by random sampling method. Rapid Rural Appraisal
(RRA) method for collection of data has been applied. A questionnaire / schedule have been
developed to document the information prevailing in the community over a period of time in
periodical visits.
For documentation work, during the field trips, local guide, villagers, traditional
herbal healer tribal heads and tribal persons are contacted and enquired to gather related
information.
Identification of plants has been made through the local name of plant with the help of
existing literature.
The documentation work of traditional knowledge on ethno-medicinal uses of plants
from tribal communities was carried out in Jabalpur, Mandla, Chhindwara and Katni districts
of Madhya Pradesh. 134 traditional herbal healers have been contacted and 507 medicinal
plants being used by the traditional herbal healers for cure of various diseases prevailing in
the tribal villages have been documented.

Existing utilization pattern along with formulation and duration of treatment etc. of
medicinal plant being utilized by traditional herbal healers against various common diseases
of tribal pockets from Jabalpur, Mandla, Chhindwara and Katni districts of MP have been
documented.
Survey of Jabalpur, Mandla, Katni, Chhindwara, Satna, Sagar and Bhopal districts of
MP have been carried out to document the channels involved in marketing of herbal plants.
68 traders involved in trading of herbal plants/parts have been contacted to collect the
information on trading. The price structure of sale of raw herbal medicinal plant parts have
been collected from local traders. Market day of tribal villages of Jabalpur, Mandla, Katni
and Chhindwara districts have been recorded and visited where trading of raw and finished
products take place.
The district-wise documentation details are as follows –
Jabalpur District
The survey was conducted to collect the information regarding tribal pockets of
Jabalpur district from Tribal Welfare Office and Divisional Forest Office. Five blocks viz.
Kundam, Shahpura, Majholi, Panagar, and Bargi of Jabalpur district have been identified as
rich tribal pockets. The name of traditional herbal healers and their localities have recorded
from above tribal pockets.
Surveys in tribal villages of five tribal pockets of Jabalpur district have been carried
and thirty eight traditional herbal healers, practicing in these areas contacted to document the
traditional knowledge.
