Monpa Communities Practice different types of traditional healing practices rooted in oral traditions, their practices include a holistic approach wherein illness is perceived not only as a physical ailment but also as a disruption in spiritual and social harmony. Traditional healers play an important role in preparing herbal remedies from the regions diverse flora, while also conducting rituals, mantras, and offerings to restore balance between the individual, community and the spiritual world. The primary objective of this paper is to document and analyze the monpa healing practices with specific attention to their ethno botanical and ritual practices. The study adopts an ethnographic methodology, incorporating participant observation, semi structured interviews with healers and community elders.
