    T. Ethnobivl, 8(2);185-194 Winter 1988 ETHNOBOTANY OF LADAKH (INDIA) PLANTS USED IN HEALTH CARE G. M. BUTH and IRSHAD A. NAVCHOO Department of Botany University of Kashmir Srinagar 190006 India ABSTRACf.-This paper puts on record the ethnobotanical information of some plants used by inhabitants of Ladakh (India) for medicine, A comparison of the uses of these plants in Ladakh and other parts of India reveal that 21 species have varied uses while 19 species are not reported used. INTRODUCTION Ladakh (elev. 3000-59G(}m), the northernmost part of India is one of the most elevated regions of the world with habitation up to 55(}(}m. The general aspect is of barren topography. The climate is extremely dry with scanty rainfall and very little snowfall (Kachroo et al. 1976). The region is traditionally rich in ethnic folklore and has a distinct culture as yet undisturbed by external influences. The majority of the population is Buddhist and follow their own system of medicine, which has been in vogue for centuries and is extensively practiced. It offers interesting insight into an ancient medical profession. The system of medicine is the"Amchi system" (Tibetan system) and the practi­ tioner, an"Amchi." The system has something in common with the "Unani" (Greek) and"Ayurvedic" (Indian) system of medicine. Unani is the traditional system which originated in the middle east and was followed and developed in the Muslim world; whereas the Ayurvedic system is that followed by Hindus since Rig vedic times. Both are still practiced in India. Though all the three systems make USe of herbs (fresh and dry), minerals, animal products, etc., the Amchi system, having evolved in its special environment, has its own characteristics.

  • OU1901 092-099 Feature Cycling Ladakh
    Cycling Ladakh Catching breath on the road to Rangdum monastery PICTURE CREDIT: Stanzin Jigmet/Pixel Challenger Breaking the There's much more to Kate Leeming's pre- Antarctic expeditions than preparation. Her journey in the Indian Himalaya was equally about changing peoples' lives. WORDS Kate Leeming 92 93 Cycling Ladakh A spectacular stream that eventually flows into the Suru River, on the 4,000m plains near Rangdum nergy was draining from my legs. My heart pounded hard and fast, trying to replenish my oxygen deficit. I gulped as much of the rarified air as I could, without great success; at 4,100m, the atmospheric oxygen is at just 11.5 per cent, compared to 20.9 per cent at sea level. As I continued to ascend towards the snow-capped peaks around Sirsir La pass, the temperature plummeted and my body, drenched in a lather of perspiration, Estarted to get cold, further sapping my energy stores. Sirsir La, at 4,828m, is a few metres higher than Europe’s Mont Blanc, and I was just over half way up the continuous 1,670m ascent to get there. This physiological response may have been a reality check, but it was no surprise. The ride to the remote village of Photoksar on the third day of my altitude cycling expedition in the Indian Himalaya had always loomed as an enormous challenge, and I was not yet fully acclimatised. I drew on experience to pace myself: keeping the pedals spinning in a low gear, trying to relax as much as possible and avoiding unnecessary exertion.

  • Ladakh Travels Far and Fast
    LADAKH TRAVELS FAR AND FAST Sat Paul Sahni In half a century, Ladakh has transformed itself from the medieval era to as modern a life as any in the mountainous regions of India. Surely, this is an incredible achievement, unprecedented and even unimagin- able in the earlier circumstances of this landlocked trans-Himalayan region of India. In this paper, I will try and encapsulate what has happened in Ladakh since Indian independence in August 1947. Independence and partition When India became independent in 1947, the Ladakh region was cut off not only physically from the rest of India but also in every other field of human activity except religion and culture. There was not even an inch of proper road, although there were bridle paths and trade routes that had been in existence for centuries. Caravans of donkeys, horses, camels and yaks laden with precious goods and commodities had traversed the routes year after year for over two millennia. Thousands of Muslims from Central Asia had passed through to undertake the annual Hajj pilgrimage; and Buddhist lamas and scholars had travelled south to Kashmir and beyond, as well as towards Central Tibet in pursuit of knowledge and religious study and also for pilgrimage. The means of communication were old, slow and outmoded. The postal service was still through runners and there was a single telegraph line operated through Morse signals. There were no telephones, no newspapers, no bus service, no electricity, no hospitals except one Moravian Mission doctor, not many schools, no college and no water taps. In the 1940s, Leh was the entrepôt of this part of the world.

  • Insights Into the P–T Evolution Path of Tso Morari Eclogites of the North-Western Himalayas: Constraints on the Geodynamic Evolution of the Region
    Insights into the P–T evolution path of Tso Morari eclogites of the north-western Himalayas: Constraints on the geodynamic evolution of the region Preeti Singh, Ashima Saikia∗, Naresh Chandra Pant and Pramod Kumar Verma∗∗ Department of Geology, University of Delhi, Delhi 110 007, India. ∗Corresponding author. e-mail: [email protected] The present study is on the Ultra High Pressure Metamorphic rocks of the Tso Morari Crystalline Com- plex of the northwestern Himalayas. Five different mineral associations representative of five stages of P–T (pressure–temperature) evolution of these rocks have been established based on metamorphic tex- tures and mineral chemistry. The pre-UHP metamorphic association 1 of Na-Ca-amphibole + epidote ± paragonite ± rutile ± magnetite with T–P of ∼ 500◦C and 10 kbar. This is followed by UHP metamor- phic regime marked by association 2 and association 3. Association 2 (Fe>Mg>Ca-garnet + omphacite + coesite + phengite + rutile ± ilmenite) marks the peak metamorphic conditions of atleast 33 kbar and ∼ 750◦C. Association 3 (Fe>Mg>Ca-garnet + Na-Ca amphibole + phengite ± paragonite ± calcite ± ilmenite ± titanite) yields a P–T condition of ∼28 kbar and 700◦C. The post-UHP metamorphic regime is defined by associations 4 and 5. Association 4 (Fe>Ca>Mg-garnet + Ca-amphibole + plagioclase (An05) + biotite + epidote ± phengite yields a P–T estimate of ∼14 kbar and 800◦C) and association 5 (Chlorite + plagioclase (An05) + quartz + phengite + Ca-amphibole ± epidote ± biotite ± rutile ± titanite ± ilmenite) yields a P–T value of ∼7 kbar and 350◦C. 1.
