An Examination through Cross-culture of Ethnomedical Plants and Their Parts Used in Sindh Forest

Since the beginning of time, people have employed plants to treat their illnesses and afflictions. Field visits to the research region were conducted from March to September of 2022–2023, as part of the current project's efforts to investigate and record the medicinal plants used to treat a variety of illnesses. The survey team from the Department of Botany at Glocal University Saharanpur conducted the fieldwork. However, in the recent two quarters, medicinal plants have acquired widespread awareness again because of increased confidence in herbal medicine, which is seen to have fewer side effects than allopathic medication and to be able to satisfy the medical needs of the world's expanding population. Using ethnomedical remedies to treat a variety of illnesses is inexpensive and safe. Data on the therapeutic plants utilized by the Sindh Forest Division was gathered from the designated area. Thirty plants from nineteen families were identified for local use. The results of this study showed that several ailments can be treated with either the complete plant or specific plant components. Additionally, it was noted that most plant species have several uses in medicine and that a given condition can be treated by more than one plant species. The research will raise awareness among students and researchers in the area to learn more about their rich natural surroundings and to foster a sense of responsibility to preserve them.
