ABSTRACT

Herbal medicines have been widely utilized as effective remedies for the prevention and treatment of multiple health conditions for centuries by almost every known culture. Traditional healers provide considerable information about the use of many plants or plant parts as medicine. Plant drugs have been the major source for treatment of diseases for a long time. They have been used in traditional medicine on the basis of experiences and practice. Ethnomedicinal survey was carried out to collect information about medicinal plants used by tribes in Satpura Ranges of Akkaluwa, Jamana, Amblibari, Dhadgaon in Nandurbar District and the investigation reveals that the tribal’s people used the Tubiflora acaulis kuntze for treatment of Kidney stone, urinary complains, fever, inflammation, Gastrointestinal disorder, cough etc. But due to scarcity about information on ethnomedicinal uses and their claims of this plant from tribes of Satpuda region, hence it is necessary to need for investigations of these important disappearing plants to strengthen the documentation of ethnic drugs and developing novel drug to treat chronic diseases. Keywords: Tubiflora acaulis, ethnomedicinal, Satpuda, Akkalkuwa, Nandurbar
