This review provides an in-depth analysis of the antimicrobial efficacy of regional flora. For centuries, local communities like Lepcha, Bhutia, and Nepalese are using these treasures for treating infections, skin conditions, fever, and respiratory ailments against human pathogens like Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Salmonella typhi etc. offering promising alternative to conventional antibiotics. Various secondary metabolites of these medicinal plants such as phenols, flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, and terpenoids exhibit diverse area of anti-microbial activities. This article examines the medicinal and cultural uses of medicinal plant species by local communities in Darjeeling Hills, illuminating the importance to document their knowledge for biodiversity conservation. Furthermore, the review identifies future research areas emphasizing the need for isolation of bioactive compounds and clinical validation to address the global challenge of antimicrobial resistance.
