Diversity, Utilization Patterns and Ethno-medicinal Significance of Indigenous Medicinal Plants in Jhunjhunu District, Rajasthan

Author(s) Maneesha Mishra, Anita Dhaka
Country India
Abstract The diversity of indigenous medicinal plants and their traditional uses form an important component of rural healthcare systems in many parts of India. Jhunjhunu district of Rajasthan, located in the semi-arid Shekhawati region, possesses a unique ecological landscape that supports a variety of drought-resistant plant species with medicinal value. Local communities in the region have long relied on traditional knowledge systems to utilize these plants for treating a wide range of ailments. This study explores the diversity, utilization patterns, and ethno-medicinal significance of indigenous medicinal plants found in Jhunjhunu district. The research documents commonly used plant species, the parts of plants utilized, methods of preparation, and the types of diseases treated through traditional remedies. The findings reveal that leaves, roots, bark, and seeds of several indigenous plants are widely used in the preparation of herbal medicines for conditions such as skin infections, digestive disorders, respiratory illnesses, and inflammatory diseases. The study also highlights the role of traditional healers and local communities in preserving and transmitting ethnobotanical knowledge across generations. However, increasing urbanization, environmental degradation, and changing socio-economic conditions pose challenges to the sustainability of this knowledge system. Therefore, systematic documentation, scientific validation, and conservation of medicinal plant biodiversity are essential to preserve this valuable indigenous heritage and promote sustainable healthcare practices.
