Abstract
The indigenous populations rely on trees for
their sustenance, while the majority of rural communities continue to utilize
traditional medicine as their primary healthcare resource. The report
emphasizes the abundant plant resources and the extensive ethnobotanical
knowledge possessed by the many tribes in the region. This research reports
novel and lesser-known ethnomedicinal applications of 28 plant species utilized
by tribes in Bhadradri Kothagudem for various diseases. The primary aim of this
effort is to provide knowledge and documentation regarding medicinal plants
utilized by the indigenous population of the studied area. Ethnomedicinal data
was obtained through interviews with senior members of the Koya, Chunchu,
Erukala, and Kondareddy tribes in the study area. The research on
ethnomedicinal plants utilized in the healthcare systems of tribes in four
villages—Tippapuram, Bathinapalli, Unjupalli, and Chalamala—was conducted in
Bhadradri Kothagudem.
