KEYWORDS: Medicinal plants, Ethnobotanical, Herbal practitioners & Jashpur Original Article Received: Dec 16 2020; Accepted: Jan 06, 2021; Published: Feb 10, 2021; Paper Id.: IJBRJUN20212 INTRODUCTION The ethnomedicine plays an important role in tribal health care system particularly in developing countries where there are less medical facilities. The ethnomedicinal plants have no side effect and are available at very low cost. Ethnobotany is essentially concerned with gathering information on plants and their use (Rao 1997). The present study forms the first of its kind with reference to Ethnobotanical plant of Jashpur district. (Swati Shrivastava and Amia Ekka et al., 2013) have also done similar studies. The ethnomedicinal knowledge is passed from one generation to the other generation orally (Nadembega et al., 2011). There are many more medicinal plants which has not been documented (Sofowora et al; 1993). Over the past decade, there has been a resurgence of interest in the investigation of natural materials as a source of potential drug substance. This work concentrates more on traditional knowledge of medicinal plants along with their therapeutic values by local inhabitants of Jashpur district. MATERIALS AND METHODS Study Area: Jashpur District is curved out of Raigarh district. It borders two states, namely, Jharkhand and Odisha. Jashpur Nagar is the district headquarters.

It is between 22° 17′ and 23° 15′ North latitude and 83° 30′ and 84° 24′ East longitude.

It is a prerequisite to have a standard methodology to study and collect the ethno medicinal data from the informants (Jain and Rao, 1976). Since these tribals are illiterate, a structural questionnaire approach was not possible to get the relevant data; hence an informal conversation was adopted. The informants were selected based on their ethnomedicinal knowledge and practices. The field survey was conducted in five Sites of Jashpur District from tribal herbal practitioners and farmers. Most of the herbals were collected directly from the forest, agricultural fields, foothills, upper hills and river belts. Sufficient care was taken not to destroy the habitats of these medicinal plants. Documentations of the medicinal plants were carefully recorded along with photographs of such plants. Direct plant observations were done with the help of local healers. Views of the People: The information collected during the field survey is based on the first-hand information given by the local inhabitants on medicinal plants. The information about the ethno medicinal plants has been accurately documented. Identification of Medicinal Plants: The medicinal plant species mentioned by the informants were taxonomically identified by ethnobotanist Dr. Ignace Kindo, Dean of Science, Department of Botany, Loyola College, Kunkuri, Jashpur, Chhattisgarh.
