Anaphalis nepalensis, Anaphalis nubigena, etc. for Laceration, Carpesium abrotanoides for (Physical pains), Silybum marianum, Inflammation and Sonchus asper for Gastrointestinal are recorded 100% fidelity level. The highest use-value is of Achillea millefolium & Taraxacum officinale (UV=0.51) is highest and Inula royleana (UV=0.2) are the lowest, it denotes the high and low use report for a particular plant. The initial step toward the discovery of a drug is to assess or document the traditionally used plant material to treat an ailment.
