Abstract EN
The Indian Himalaya is rich in plant species, including many medicinal plants, greatly valued by local inhabitants for health care needs.
The study in Urgam Valley of Uttarakhand, India, is to identity and document traditional knowledge of medicinal plants.
The study revealed high consensus on medicinal plant usage, with 51 species belonging to 31 families used for local health care.
Number of species and uses known increases with age, and elders and specialist healers retain higher levels of traditional medicinal plant knowledge, having unique knowledge of medicinal plants and their uses as well as preparation.
