The objective of present study was to document and preserve ethnomedicinal knowledge use to treat different human ailments by traditional healers of Dera Ismail Khan region, Pakistan.
Field work was conducted between February 2012 and January 2013 using semistructured questionnaires.
Data was collected from 120 traditional healers through questionnaire survey.
Traditional healers in the study area use 70 plant species mostly herbs (57%) for ethnomedicinal and other purposes.
The highest FIC values (0.80) were obtained each for gastrointestinal and kidney problems followed by respiratory infections (0.72) and skin infections (0.73).
There was a significant correlation ( r 2 = 0.950 ; p < 0.01 ) between the age and traditional knowledge of respondent.
Direct matrix ranking indicated Morus alba and Dalbergia sissoo as highly multipurpose and threatened species in the study area.
The results showed high dependency of local inhabitants on medicinal plants in meeting their primary health care needs.
Moreover, the traditional knowledge has been restricted to elder people.
Protection measures should be taken in order to conserve precious multipurpose species that are facing overexploitation.
Medicinal plants treating major ailments in the region may be subjected to phytochemical and pharmacological investigations for the identification of bioactive compounds.
