Abstract
Ranchi is located in Jharkhand state. The total area is 5097 sq.km.
Jharkhand is a homeland of 32 tribes including eight primitive tribes. Tribal
communities living in biodiversity rich areas possess a wealth of knowledge on
the utilization and conservation of medicinal plants. They have developed this
traditional knowledge over several years of observations, trial and error,
inference and inheritance. Some of the indigenous technologies are really
effective, much cheaper than modern medicines, prepared by locally available
natural resources and easy to prepare. Ethnobotanical inventories are made by
conducting interviews with the tribal people, formal surveys in the field,
collection and identification of plant specimen used. The information on
medicinal plants was gathered from experienced tribal vaidyas which are being
used as preventive against typhoid.
