Ethnomedicinal Diversity and Conservation Perspectives of Selected Medicinal Plants Associated with the Menal Forest Region of Rajasthan

Author(s) Pratibha, Shahdab Hussain
Country India
Abstract The traditional usage of medicinal plants is a significant part of rural communities' healthcare systems and plays a significant role in the preservation of biocultural knowledge. With a focus on members of the Euphorbiaceae family, the current study details the ethnomedical significance and traditional use of a few medicinal plants connected to the Menal Forest region in southeast Rajasthan, India. From the existing ethnomedical data, a total of fifteen medicinal species, mostly from the Euphorbiaceae and Phyllanthaceae families, were assembled. Species of Euphorbia, Jatropha, Acalypha, Croton, Ricinus, and Phyllanthus were among the reported plants. Traditional medical methods have reportedly made use of a variety of plant components, including leaves, roots, stems, seeds, aerial parts, entire plants, and latex. The care of wounds, warts, skin infections, inflammation, gastrointestinal diseases, respiratory illnesses, urinary issues, liver disorders, and other common health concerns were among the reported applications.Fresh latex, plant paste, juice, powder, infusion, and decoction were among the traditional preparations. The wealth of traditional medical knowledge connected to the local flora is reflected in the variety of plant parts and preparation techniques. However, the sustainability of these plant resources may be threatened by invasive species, habitat degradation, infrastructural development, overexploitation, grazing pressure, and environmental changes.Therefore, maintaining medicinal plant diversity and related traditional knowledge requires integrated conservation approaches that include in situ and ex situ conservation, sustainable harvesting, community involvement, genetic resource preservation, and systematic ethnobotanical documentation.
