The Ethno-botanical and Ecological Knowledge of the Tai Khamti Tribe: a Closer Look into Their Medicinal Traditions

Country India
Abstract An ethno-botanical survey was conducted in areas predominantly inhabited by the Khamti-Sinpho tribe, specifically in the Chongkham and Namsai circles of Lohit district, Arunachal Pradesh. The study focused on documenting the Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) of the Tai Khamti tribe, particularly their ethno-medicinal practices. Renowned traditional healers were interviewed in person using relevant questionnaires during a field visit from December 26 to 29, 2024. The findings revealed that the practice of healing has been passed down through generations. The local community places great trust in these traditional healers and often seeks their treatments. Based on random interactions with residents, it was observed that the herbal remedies are highly effective, with people recovering in a timely manner. The study identified at least 22 health conditions that can be treated with various parts of medicinal plants, with some preparations incorporating animal resources. The research has documented these medicinal plants, methods of herbal preparation, and their associated cultural practices. Proper documentation of such TEKs and ethno-medicinal practices will help preserve these ancient healing methods and provide valuable insights for future research.
