ETHNO MEDICINAL PLANTS Of Raigarh District, Chhattisgarh - Jitendra Patel - Bog

This book is intended to be a popular guide on medicinal plants - their identification, botanical details, Phytochemicals, cultivation, and uses. Designed primarily for Indian scholars, the book focuses on the medicinal flora found in the Raigarh district of Chhattisgarh. It combines the traditional uses and descriptions of medicinal plant species used regularly by the local inhabitants and the tribal communities. Raigarh district with its varied physiographic, climatic and edaphic conditions reflects a wide assortment of rich medicinal plants. In the present book, we have attempted to compile traditional knowledge surrounding medicinal plants in a classical manner. A layperson rarely uses the botanical names of plants; instead s/he uses the popular or vernacular names. One of the purposes of this book is to popularize and supply standard, meaningful, and common or vernacular names for medicinal plants. Therefore, this book is accessible to readers from diverse disciplines. The authors have recorded their original observations made during the extensive fieldwork in the area from 2017 to 2022. This contribution will be a valuable resource for postgraduate and doctor.
