 Traditional use & management of medicinal plants in Asian countries
 The total number of medicinal plants in the Hindu Kush –Himalayan countries is
approximately 7500 to 10,000 species 4 largest traditional medicinal systems in the
world : Ayurvedic medicine, Chinese medicine, Tibetan medicine and Unani medicine
The Hindu Kush- Himalayas (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Nepal and

application, and proliferation of indigeno us knowledge of medicinal plant resources
(and their management) can be a part of the process of coping with changes without
losing valuable local tradition and biodiversity.
 Hence, Ethnobotany is important to conservation and community development.
 Traditional Indigo Pigment Extraction.

 ETHNOBOTANY IN HUMANWELFARE
 ■ The ethno-botanical information reveals that plant species are widely
used throughout the world for different purposes like for instance
medicine, edible fruits, vegetables, ornamentals, fencing, fuel wood, timber
wood, fodder, agricultural tools and structural materials etc.Whereby all
the growth forms like herbs, shrubs, trees, climbers, epiphytes and trailers
plays their role.
