Ethnomedicinal knowledge of Mogiya tribe around Ranthambhore National Park: With special reference for treating sports injuries

The present study was conducted in Ranthambhore National Park, located in the eastern region of Rajasthan, in District Sawai Madhopur. To record the ethnomedicinal knowledge of the local Mogiya tribe, a field survey was conducted. The Mogiya tribes that live in and around Ranthambhore National Park use 106 plant species from 48 families to treat a variety of illnesses. A thorough list of these plants, along with their botanical names, regional names, portions used and therapeutic uses, is provided in this publication. Several of the plants identified in this study have substantial therapeutic promise, particularly with regard to sports-related injuries. Following close examination and comparison with earlier research, we were able to pinpoint particular plants that show promise in treating common sports-related ailments like sprains, strains, inflammation and muscle soreness. These plants may offer natural options for the treatment of sports injuries because they contain active chemicals that have analgesic, anti-inflammatory and tissue regenerative qualities. The results demonstrate how additional clinical research and drug development based on Mogiya traditional knowledge could advance contemporary sports medicine.
