The rural Murshidabad district is an important source of
traditional medicinal plants. The traditional healers are the
main source of knowledge on medicinal plants. This ethno-
medicinal knowledge has been transmitted orally from
generation to generation. There was lack of organize data
about these medicinal plants. Medicinal use and Knowledge
about these plants are confined in many small ethnic groups,
which are not explored for human welfare.
