3.ETHNOMEDICINAL CLAIMS AGAINST STOMACH COMPLAINTS IN BULDHANA DISTRICT BY 1AHIRRAO Y.A. AND 2D.A. PATIL
Abstract
The paper reports ethnomedicinal uses of 73 plant species belonging to 39 angiospermic families.
It particularly documents stomach complaints such as colic, intestinal worms, flatulence,
dysentery, diarrhea, gastritis, constipation and indigestion treated by the tribal and rural inhabitants
of the district. They also use some species to promote digestion, to check acidity and as purgative.
The paper also communicates useful plant parts, products, local plant names, recipes, doses, and
methods of their administeration. The information is first-hand and their users have deep faith in
the local healthcare system. However, it is thought desirable to assess these claims on scientific
basis and to authenticate thereby their efficacy and toxicity.
KEY WORD: Ethnomedicine, stomach complaints, Buldhana district.
