ABSTRACT

Historically, medicinal plants have been used to treat a variety of illnesses. The medico-ethno botanical data gathered from Nilgiri tribes is highlighted in this study. The Nilgiri is a well- known massif rising tall in South India's Western Ghats [1]. In the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve in southern India, there are 3,300 kinds of blooming plants, 132 of which are indigenous. Parts of the Western Ghats and Nilgiri Hills in the states of Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu are included in the reserve. We excluded the IUCN Red list of threatened, non- medicinal and extinct Species [13]. The findings of this study revealed different Ayurvedic and local medicinal uses for 32 flowering plants that have been incorporated into the Nilgiri abonies' traditional therapeutic regime of herbal treatment for a variety of common diseases. These discoveries are explored in the context of cross-cultural perspectives. Keywords: Western ghats, indigenous, flowering, Ayurvedic, IUCN red list
