Abstract

Tribes are known for their close proximity with the nature all over the world. They use natural resources as part of their survival while protecting these as part of their duties and obligations. Thus the concept of nature-man–spirit is very ancient as both biological diversity and cultural diversity are directly related to the origin of many tribes in India. The present authors investigated 46 plant species for skin diseases belonging to 30 families. The knowledge and wisdom of aborigines of this region will be certainly helpful for human welfare.
