Why is it important?
Ethnomedicinal plants used by indigenous tribes in Southern Rajasthan exhibit antimicrobial activity, particularly against pathogens causing gastrointestinal diseases. A study identified 39 plant species used by these tribes, with families like Rutaceae, Asphodelaceae, Vitaceae, Fabaceae, Malvaceae, and Apocynaceae being prominently featured. Further research, including pharmacological evidence, has shown that these plants possess antimicrobial properties, offering potential for developing new medicines and validating traditional practices
Perspectives
The research validates the traditional knowledge of the indigenous tribes, highlighting the importance of preserving and integrating their practices into modern healthcare.
