    Forest Ecology and Health Care: A Study in Visakha Agency of Andhra Pradesh, India V. SUBRAMANYAM† & B. VEERABHADRUDU‡ Department of Anthropology, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam 530003, Andhra Pradesh E-mail: [email protected] KEY WORDS: Forest ecology, Health, Medicine. Tribes. Visakha agency. Andhra Pradesh. ABSTRACT: Over exploitation of forest resources by the various external agencies, mining operations and development projects of government and non-government in the tribal areas are resulting to deforestation which are adversely affecting the life of the aboriginals. The consequences of forest ecosystem degradation to tribal health are numerous. Primarily, which create natural imbalance of forest bio-diversity resulting to food problem and loosening permanent energy base. Prolonged starvation for food leads to high incidence of malnutrition, morbidity and mortality among them. Due to deforestation, some of the valuable medicinal plants become extinction and tribals also loose their prime medicinal source. The forest policies of government are also adversely affecting the livelihoods of tribals. In this research paper an attempt is made to explain tribals’ interaction with forests and influence of ecological and cultural factors on their health. It also deals with their indigenous medicinal practices and effects of government forest policies on their lifestyles. Further it emphasizes the relevance of action anthropology in solving the health problems of tribals. The paper discusses the inter connectedness in between the forest ecology, health and medicine of tribes in anthropological holistic perspective with an empirical evidence of a case study in Visakha agency area of Andhra Pradesh.

So an attempt has been taken to explore it scientifically. Preliminary phytochemical investigation reveals that there is presence of flavonoids, Saponins, phenols, bitter principles and steroids. Three different concentrations (50, 100 and 150 mg/ml) of crude extract of hexane, ethyl acetate, chloroform and methanol were tested against earthworms (Pheretima posthuma), which involved the evaluation of paralysis and death period of the worm. Methanol and chloroform extracts exhibited significant anthelmintic activity at highest concentration of 150 mg/mL. Piperzine citrate was selected as standard compound and DMF as control. The anthelmintic activity of Methanol and chloroform of bark of AS has therefore been evaluated for the first time. Key words: Alangium salviifolium; helminthiasis; Pheretima posthuma; Piperzine citrate and Paralysis _____________________________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION Helminthiasis is a macroparasitic disease of humans and animals caused due to parasitic worms such as pinworm, roundworm, or tapeworm. These worms some times live in the gastrointestinal tract, may also burrow into the liver, lymphatic system, or other organs [1]. The clinical picture of consists of skin infection, skin nodules, and ocular lesions. The skin lesions include oedema, papules, scab-like eruptions and altered pigmentation.

The aim of the present study is to enumerate the ethnomedicinal information from PTGs (Primitive tribal groups) of Koyyuru Mandal, Visakhapatnam District, North Coastal Andhra Pradesh, India. Ethnomedicinal plant information has been collected through several field trips and also by means of personal interviews from local tribal people/doctors. Based on the conference from the local tribal doctors and through discussions with them, a total number of 74 ethnomedicinal plant species with 70 genera of 43 families used to treat a total number of 59 diseases were collected. A small number of plants were used as medicine directly and remaining plants are used in mix together with other plant species. The significant use of each ethnomedicinal plant was obtained in consideration of available information from the local tribal doctors. Most frequently the plant leaves were used for preparing ethnomedicine. It is evident that the collected ethnomedicinal plants have significant medicinal value for one or more diseases. Fewer plants were noticed intended for healing two or more therapeutic values. Key words: Ethnomedicinal plants; Disease; Leukorrhea; Mucuna pruriens; Premature ejaculation; Jaundice Introduction Since many years, the researchers have focused on the significant use of medicinal plant materials to cure different contagious diseases throughout the world.
