Green Treasures of Wellness: Ethnobotanical Documentation of Medicinal Flora in Indore District, Madhya Pradesh

Author(s) Ms. Leena. P L, Dr. Jobi Xavier
Country India
Abstract Background: Medicinal plants are the green treasure of wellness. If we were truly connected to this precious gift of nature, we could enjoy a pure and healthy environment, which brings sustainable and holistic wellness options. India, with its rich herbal heritage, hosts significant ethnobotanical diversity, yet urban and peri-urban districts such as Indore remain underexplored.
Aim: This study documents medicinal plants traditionally used in the Indore district, Madhya Pradesh, highlighting their therapeutic applications, cultural significance, and the need for conservation.
Methods: In January 2025, field surveys were conducted in nine different villages within Indore district. Information was collected through semi-structured discussions with traditional healers. Collected plant samples were verified by a taxonomist and preserved in the herbarium.
Results: A total of 50 species belonging to 34 families and 47 genera were documented. Herbs were dominant (62%), with Fabaceae the most represented family (12%). Plants were employed for diverse purposes, including medicine, food, and rituals, underscoring their multifaceted role in community life.
Conclusion: The findings reveal rich ethnobotanical knowledge in Indore, but rapid urbanization and habitat loss threaten both biodiversity and traditional wisdom. These medicinal resources represent the region’s “Green Treasures of Wellness”, potential sources for pharmacognostic research
