Traditional Phytotherapy for Women Disorders

Herbs are staging a comeback and herbal 'renaissance' is happening all over the globe. The herbal products today symbolise safety in contrast to the synthetics that are regarded as unsafe to human and environment. Women disorders are very frequent among females. Although the tribal people traditionally use many plants to cure many gynaecological disorders, yet no such documentation has been done earlier. Keeping this in view, the present study was initiated with an aim to identify medicinal plants resources and traditional knowledge of tribal people of Central India to treat several gynaecological troubles. A synoptic account of plant species, parts used, application and approximate doses in possible cases and ethno-medicinal values to cure gynaecological disorders among the tribals has been prepared and reported in the present study.
