Ethnomedical Value of Plants in Nagapattinam District of Tamil Nadu, India
International Letters of Natural Sciences Online: 2014-06-30 ISSN: 2300-9675, Vol. 17, pp 103-110 doi:10.18052/www.scipress.com/ILNS.17.103 2014 SciPress Ltd, Switzerland Ethnomedical Value of Plants in Nagapattinam District of Tamil Nadu, India B. Vinoth, R. Manivasagaperumal* Department of Botany, Annamalai University, Annamalai Nagar - 608002, Tamil Nadu, India *E-mail address: [email protected] ABSTRACT The present survey was undertaken to explore the traditional knowledge of plant species found in four villages (Athamangalam, Vadukkuveli, Thalainayar and Perumangalam) in Sirkali taluk of Nagapattinam district, Tamilnadu state, The ethnomedicinal information was collected through oral interviews to village elders and vaidyas (those who cure disease by traditional methods) of the rural areas of this district. The knowledge available to the rural population of the area is transmitted only through oral language from generation to generation over time and therefore it needs to be recorded in order to be preserved. Medicinal plants are listed by botanical name, family name, local name, plant parts used and mode of preparation and the names of the diseases cured. About 50 plant species belonging to 27 families were described as effective herbal drugs for various ailments. The documented ethnobotanical uses of plants mostly related to the treatment in curing stomach pain, breast pain, headache, bleeding, yellow fever, muscle pain and blood purifier. Keyword: Ethnomedicine; traditional medicine; Athamangalam; Nagapattinam and Tamilnadu 1. INTRODUCTION The term ethnobotany was first coined by an American botanist, John Harshburger (1896), to study the plants used by the primitive and aboriginal people. Since then it has been defined as the traditional knowledge on indigenous communities, about surrounding plant diversity and as the study of how the people of particular culture and region make use of indigenous plants.
