The traditional drug knowledge provides a platform to further modern research as it provides a comprehensive and multi-therapeutic view of the indigenous medicinal plants based on traditional practices. The present study aimed for exploring the flora of Indo-Gangetic plains in the context of ethnopharmacological practices by keeping in view the rich biodiversity of the region. The study comprised only significant medicinal plants in terms of their therapeutic efficacy and conservation practices adopted by local people having 114 medicinal plant species belonging to 67 families. There is ample scope for experimenting with innovative drug designing from ethnopharmacological knowledge.
