An ethnobotanical survey for the wild medicinal plants in the central high mountains extending from northern to central Jordan has been carried out. A special questionnaire is prepared to test for the medicinal uses of the local wild medicinal plants in the study area. The information such as the Arabic local name, parts used for medication, methods of preparation, purpose of use, doses and any other remarks, were all collected from direct contact visits to local people by the researchers of this study. The total numbers of recorded species in all the study sites are 108 species belonging to 33 families. The families Asteraceae and Lamiaceae have recorded the highest species of medicinal plants. A number of 25 plants species were found to be more frequently used by the local people in the studied areas, 38 species were found to be used more occasionally than the remaining 22 species. Visits for the available herbalist’s shops in the study area were made for all the sites of the study area. The age range of the questioned sample of the people who were interviewed was ranging between 40-65- years old. It is learned from the study that the use of wild medicinal plants is highly recommended and still practiced by the majority of local people in the study area. It has been observed that the study area is very rich in medicinal plants, where some species are becoming degraded and over cultivated. The knowledge of using wild herbs in traditional folk medicine is basically more common among the elderly rather than the young generation in most of the visited domestic areas. However, the use of medicinal plants by the locals are causing great declining of the diversity of many plant species growing in all sites visited by the authors.

Ethno medicinal claims existing among mising tribes of assam ijsit 2.4.4IJSIT Editor
The present study attempts to explore the ethno medico system of Mising (Miri) tribe of the Majuli
subdivision, Jorhat district of Assam, India. The study mainly deals with the identification of medicinal plant
species with the local names, preparation methods, treatment techniques that used frequently for curing
several diseases. The practices of herbal treatments were more in the char-chapori(riverine) area as
compared to areas nearer to the modern medical facilities. An interesting fact is that the magico-religious
practices were done before any type of treatments in the Mising community. The popularity of modern
medicines though has increased a lot, but they have ardent faith only on qualitative herbal medicine.

Basidiomycetes fungi, including Ganoderma lucidum, have a variety of uses such as providing nutrition and medical remedies. The mushroom G. lucidum has been used for a long time to cure liver problems, heart condition, asthma, cancer, high blood pressure and arthritis. Recently, it has been associated with boosting immune systems in HIV infected persons. It is for these reasons that the mushroom has attracted a lot of attention leading to proposals of cultivating to increase supply to the Southern African market. This study was initiated with the objective of determining the uses of Ganoderma species and other mushrooms by local communities in Oshana and Ohangwena Regions of northern Namibia. A survey was conducted in the 10% households of each of the two northern regions of Namibia. A questionnaire for face-to-face interviews was designed and applied to the two Regions. The information survey has revealed that Ganoderma species have a variety of other traditional uses including veterinary applications, while other five species of mushrooms are used as nerve calming tonics and as treatment of skin infections. The study found out that those interviewed in Ohangwena Region use more mushrooms for medicinal purposes than those interviewed in Oshana Region.

Data collection was done through individual survey, pre-structured questionnaires, group discussions and field study on ailing animals, their method of treatment by local healers, plants materials collection, methods of drug preparation, dose and modes of drug administration with repetitions in the subsequent periods for verification of accuracy. Altogether 12 plant species belonging to 10 families used in 10 preparations and 14 plants belonging to 13 families used in 12 preparations for treatment of painful delivery and retained of placenta respectively. Mostly single plant preparations are used for treatment. Almost all the plant parts like whole plant, root, rhizome, leaves, flowers, fruit, seeds, seed-oil, bark etc are used in the preparations. Findings are encouraging i.e. percentage of success in treatment is above 90%, elderly people have more knowledge of traditional herbal treatment, and traditional herbal practitioners use single plants or plant parts for drug preparation to treat these aliments.
All these plants of ethnoveterinary importance and herbal preparations need to be popularized for their wide application and acceptance.

1. Introduction
Jaundice is a common ailment found in young and old, all
over the world. Jaundice, also known as icterus,[1]
is a
yellowish pigmentation of the skin, the conjunctival
membranes over the sclera (whites of the eyes), and other
mucous membranes, caused by high blood bilirubin levels.[2]
This hyperbilirubinemia causes increased levels of bilirubin
in the extracellular fluid. Concentration of bilirubin in blood
plasma is normally below 1.2 mg/dL (<25µmol/L). A
concentration higher than approx. 3 mg/dL (>50µmol/L)
leads to jaundice.[3]
The term jaundice comes from the
French word jaune, meaning yellow. Fighting against
jaundice is one of the main concerns of the world today. If
proper treatment is not taken, the patients can lose their life.
Even though people use modern medicine for treating
jaundice, then also they depend on herbal therapy for
wholesomeness after the effect of jaundice. The traditional
healers of Dangs totally depend on herbal medicine for
curing jaundice. They make decoction or extract after
mixing parts of two or more medicinal plants. More than
90% of the population of Dangs depend on herbal medicine
for curing jaundice. The moist deciduous forest of Dangs, in
South Gujarat has an extraordinary diversity of plant species
and has been regarded as treasure trove of medicinal plants.
DANG: The Study Area: a Location, Topography and
Geomorphology
The study tract falls between the parallels of latitude
20.33”53” and 21.4’52” and the meridians of longitude
73.27’ 58” and 73.56’36”. The Dang forest tract starts from
the rugged mountain chains of Sahyadri in the east and
descends on the western side extending to the edge of plains
of Gujarat. The District of Dangs has geographical area of
1778 Sq. Km. The entire population is rural living. The
forest area which is about 95% of the total geographical area
and it comprises of 844.06 Sq. km Reserved Forest and
854.50 sq. km Protected Forest. Dangs contributed about
70% of the total major forest produce of Gujarat state, and
about 15 lakhs bamboos produced that contribute about 50%
of the state production. In this area a vide variety of
medicinal plants are found. People of this area depend on
plants for curing most of their ailments. The traditional
healers of this area have a deep knowledge of the medicinal
values of the plants and have good collection of information
about its uses. They won’t let out easily this information to
anyone.
2. Materials and Methods
The research was conducted in several potential stands of
the area during the year 2012 to 2014. For the data
collection, 42 traditional healers, who are native to this area,
were interviewed. A translator who knows both Guajarati,
the state language and Dangi the local language, helped the
researcher to document the information accurately. The
researcher along with herbal healers visited the forests to
identify the plants. Using the Botanical knowledge of the
guide the plants were identified. Herbal healers of this area

4. Discussion
95% of the Dang Dt. is completely covered by forest. Due to
the hilly nature of the terrain, and most of the people living
in forests away from cities or village health centres, they are
forced to depend on nature to cure almost all their ailments.
The names of the traditional healers and their village names
are given in the Table1. (*n) is the village number indicated
in the map. In this paper Ethno-Therapeutic Remedies for
JAUNDICE, 16 different modes of therapy by 17 traditional
healers hailing from 17 villages are documented and
presented. In order to identify the source of information the
village of the traditional healer is indicated with (*n) which
is the village number shown in the Table1. Also the villages
are numbered in Dang Map in Figure1.
Each Traditional healer uses a typical combination of
medicinal plants in their herbal therapy Ethno-Therapeutic
Remedies for JAUNDICE. Some of them cure Jaundice with
only one medicinal plant, while others use a combination of
two or more medicinal plants in their ethno therapy.
Many of the herbal healers use any one of these medicinal
plants from Hibiscus esculentus, Ensete superbum,
Dalbergia volubilis or Asparagus racemosus for healing
Jaundice.
Two Herbal healers heal Jaundice with Dalbergia volubilis
alone .Two of the herbal healers heal Jaundice only with
Hibiscus esculentus , whereas three other herbal healers use
Ensete superbum alone or in combination with Costus
specious for healing Jaundice.
Medicinal plants like Cassia tora, Dalbergia volubilis,
Oroxylum indicum, Pterocarpus marsupium, Ensete
superbum are used by more than three herbal healers with a
typical combination to prepare herbal medicine for Jaundice.
Each of the medicinal plants Ensete superbum, Asparagus
racemosus, Hibiscus esculentus are used by two herbal
healers in the preparation of herbal medicine.
The medicinal plant Oroxylum indicumis is used by three
traditional healers for curing Jaundice. All three of them
have different combination
Dalbergia volubilis+ Cassia tora,
Oroxylum indicum + Cassia tora,
Oroxylum indicum + Asparagus racemosus,
Pterocarpus marsupium + Oroxylum indicum +Cassia tora.
Pterocarpus marsupium is another medicinal plant used by
three traditional healers for healing jaundice. Pterocarpus
marsupium + Oroxylum indicum + Cassia tora another
combination. All these medicinal plants are repeatedly used
for curing Jaundice.
The 27 medicinal plants that are used are listed with their
botanical name, family, local name, habit and parts that are
used in Table 2. From the above study we have to give
priority to the below given points..
1)It is important to find out the active compound from
these medicinal plants that help to bring down the level
of bilirubin in blood
2)It is also important to screen for active principles from
these medicinal plants and do a comparative study with
the existing medicines.
3)It is obvious that most of these medicinal plants are trees.
Their roots or stem are utilized for medicinal purposes.
there is a felt need to preserve these trees. For example

in Dang Dt. Gujarat, India, we have described 16 different
therapies for jaundice from 17 traditional healers hailing
from 17 villages and documented them with the medicinal
plants’ local name, botanical name, parts used, preparation
and dosage. 27 medicinal plants that are used for healing
Jaundice are given in table 2 with their scientific name,
family, habit, local names, and parts used. Jaundice is one of
the common problems faced by the people of Dangs.
Traditional healers of this region totally depend on plants for
healing jaundice.95% of Dang district is covered by forests.
The forest contains wide variety of trees and herbs that have
high medicinal values. Medicinal plants like Cassia tora,
Dalbergia volubilis, Oroxylum indicum, Pterocarpus
marsupium are refereed by more than one Traditional healer
for curing Jaundice.
It is important to screen for active principles from these
medicinal plants and do a comparative study with the
existing medicines
Further studies should be conducted to find out the active
compound from these medicinal plants that help to bring
down the level of bilirubin in blood. It is also important to
protect the medicinal plants that are endangered.
